Iterative scenarios for social-ecological systems. [PDF]
Ecol Soc, 2021 Managing social-ecological systems toward desirable regimes requires learning about the system being managed while preparing for many possible futures. Adaptive management (AM) and scenario planning (SP) are two systems management approaches that separately use learning to reduce uncertainties and employ planning to manage irreducible uncertainties ...

Identifying past social-ecological thresholds to understand long-term temporal dynamics in Spain [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2019 A thorough understanding of long-term temporal social-ecological dynamics at the national scale helps to explain the current condition of a country's ecosystems and to support environmental policies to tackle future sustainability challenges. We aimed to

Multi-scale adaptive management of social-ecological systems. [PDF]
Bioscience, 2023 Abstract Adaptive management is an approach for stewardship of social–ecological systems in circumstances with high uncertainty and high controllability. Although they are largely overlooked in adaptive management (and social–ecological system management), it is important to account for spatial and temporal scales to mediate within- and ...
