Evaluating multilevel resilience of Russian urban economies 2010–2019

Ecology and Society, 2022
In this paper we examine the coevolution of individual cities and the city networks to which they belong, during an economic shock. We take an individual city and its city network to be the meso and macro levels, respectively, of a social-economic system.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Self-Organized Governance Networks for Ecosystem Management: Who Is Accountable?

Ecology and Society, 2011
Governance networks play an increasingly important role in ecosystem management. The collaboration within these governance networks can be formalized or informal, top-down or bottom-up, and designed or self-organized.

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.

Livelisystems: a conceptual framework integrating social, ecosystem, development and evolutionary theory [PDF]

, 2014
Human activity poses multiple environmental challenges for ecosystems that have intrinsic value and also support that activity. Our ability to address these challenges is constrained, inter alia, by weaknesses in cross disciplinary understandings of ...
