Dryland Social-Ecological Systems in Australia
Dryland social-ecological systems in Australia are characterized by a water-limited climate, vulnerable terrestrial ecosystems, advanced ecosystem management, and the highest average wealth. Dryland social-ecological systems in Australia have been facing

Legitimacy, Adaptation, and Resilience in Ecosystem Management
Ecology and Society, 2013 Ecologists have made great strides in developing criteria for describing the resilience of an ecological system. In addition, expansion of that effort to social-ecological systems has begun the process of identifying changes to the social system ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Variation in grouping patterns, mating systems and social structure: what socio-ecological models attempt to explain [PDF]
, 2013 Socio-ecological models aim to predict the variation in social systems based on a limited number of ecological parameters. Since the 1960s, the original model has taken two paths: one relating to grouping patterns and mating systems and one relating to ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

From scaling to governance of the land system: bridging ecological and economic perspectives [PDF]
, 2011 One of the main unresolved problems in policy making is the step from scale issues to effective governance. What is appropriate for a lower level, such as a region or location, might be considered undesirable at a global scale.

Exploratory modeling of social‐ecological systems
EcosphereNavigating social‐ecological systems toward sustainable trajectories is an important challenge of the Anthropocene. Models of social‐ecological systems can increase our understanding of how social and ecological subsystems interact, their response to ...

Ecology and Society, 2014 In this study we examine poverty in local fisheries using a social-ecological resilience lens. In assessing why "fishery may rhyme with poverty", Christophe Béné suggests a typology of impoverishment processes, which includes economic exclusion, social ...
