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 ...

Multi-scale adaptive management of social-ecological systems. [PDF]
Bioscience, 2023 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 ...

Group size in social-ecological systems. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance What is the size of human groups for successful cooperation? Theoretically, the larger the group, the more difficult it is to sustain cooperation. We studied hundreds of villages in the Alps that harvested common property resources for almost six centuries.

Groundwater Connections and Sustainability in Social‐Ecological Systems
Groundwater, 2023 Abstract Groundwater resources are connected with social, economic, ecological, and Earth systems. We introduce the framing of groundwater‐connected systems to better represent the nature and complexity of these connections in data collection, scientific investigations ...

A social–ecological analysis of the global agrifood system [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Significance The failure to end hunger and the environmental deterioration underpinning food systems have prompted a paradigm shift around food security. We propose a social–ecological approach and carry out a quantitative analysis of 43 indicators of food sovereignty and 28 indicators of the sociodemographic, social wellbeing, and ...

Feedbacks between Conservation and Social‐Ecological Systems [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2012 Abstract: Robust ways to meet objectives of environmental conservation and social and economic development remain elusive. This struggle may in part be related to insufficient understanding of the feedbacks between conservation initiatives and social–ecological systems, specifically, the ways in which ...

A social-ecological approach to conservation planning: embedding social considerations [PDF]
, 2013 Many conservation plans remain unimplemented, in part because of insufficient consideration of the social processes that influence conservation decisions. Complementing social considerations with an integrated understanding of the ecology of a region can

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 ...

Ecological Applications, 2017 AbstractConservation biology and applied ecology increasingly recognize that natural resource management is both an outcome and a driver of social, economic, and ecological dynamics. Protected areas offer a fundamental approach to conserving ecosystems, but they are also social‐ecological systems whose ecological management and sustainability are ...
