Can forest management based on natural disturbances maintain ecological resilience? [PDF]

, 2006
Given the increasingly global stresses on forests, many ecologists argue that managers must maintain ecological resilience: the capacity of ecosystems to absorb disturbances without undergoing fundamental change.

Crisis and reorganization in urban dynamics: the Barcelona, Spain, case study

Ecology and Society, 2018
We use adaptive cycle theory to improve the understanding of cycles of urban change in the city of Barcelona, Spain, from 1953 to 2016. More specifically, we explore the vulnerabilities and windows of opportunity these cycles of change introduced in the ...

Can Properties of Labor-Exchange Networks Explain the Resilience of Swidden Agriculture?

Ecology and Society, 2010
Despite the fact that swidden agriculture has been the subject of decades of research, questions remain about the extent to which it is constrained by demographic growth and if it can adapt to environmental limits.

Risque digue : une justification à la relecture systémique et géopolitique des risques environnementaux

L'Espace Politique, 2017
This paper presents the newly French « dike risk ». As “dike risk” is conflict-prone and contradictory-looking, it challenges previous risk understanding and management. Yet, it proves the capacity of Humankind to admit limitations found while acting, an

Archaeology and rapid climate changes: from the collapse concept to a panarchy interpretative model

Documenta Praehistorica, 2015
The ‘rapid climate change’, ‘cycles of abrupt climate shift’, and ‘cold events’ in the Holocene are discussed in relation to the ‘collapse of civilisation’ concept, and adaptive cycles and the panarchy interpretative model.

Inequalities in the adaptive cycle: reorganizing after disasters in an unequal world

Ecology and Society, 2022
Natural hazards can trigger disasters that lead to the collapse and reorganization of social-ecological systems. This reorganization can involve systems transitioning to more positive trajectories.

Building adaptive capacity in a coastal region experiencing global change

Ecology and Society, 2020
Coastal ecosystems in the eastern U.S. have been severely altered by human development, and climate change and other stressors are now further degrading the capacity of those ecological and social systems to remain resilient in the face of such ...

Industrial Structure and a Tradeoff Between Productivity and Economic Resilience

Studies in Business and Economics, 2022
The structures of regional economies play a critical role in determining both a region’s productivity and its resilience to shocks. We extend previous work on the regional occupation and skills structure by analyzing the effect of a region’s industry ...
