Climate change and its interactions with complex socioeconomic dynamics dictate the need for decision makers to move from
incremental adaptation toward transformation as societies try to cope with unprecedented and uncertain change. Developing
pathways toward transformation is especially difficult in regions with multiple contested resource uses and rights, with diverse
decision makers and rules, and where high uncertainty is generated by differences in stakeholders’ values,
understanding of climate change, and ways of adapting. Such a region is the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia, from which we
provide insights for developing a process to address these constraints. We present criteria for sequencing actions along adaptation
pathways: feasibility...

This study assessed the desiccation effects on biomass and algal density of periphyton in a subtropical lentic ecosystem. This
experiment was conducted with only one in situ experimental desiccation event for 15 hours in a mature periphytic community.
The periphyton after desiccation was distinct in density and biomass estimators (dry weight and chlorophyll a) when compared to
the control periphyton. After the tenth day of desiccation, the community presented similar values for biomass estimators when
compared to the control periphyton. The density and biomass estimators of the periphyton community was affected by the
desiccation event and required about ten days to recover to pre-disturbance conditions.

An abstract version of the comprehensive aquatic simulation model (CASM) is found to exhibit bistability under intermediate
loading of nutrient input, supporting the alternative-stable-states theory and field observations for shallow lakes. Our simulations
of biomanipulations under the bistable conditions reveal that a reduction in the abundance of zooplanktivorous fish cannot switch
the system from a turbid to a clear state. Rather, a direct reduction of phytoplankton and detritus was found to be most effective to
make this switch in the present model. These results imply that multiple manipulations may be effective for practical restorations
of lakes. We discuss the present results of biomanipulations in terms of ecological resilience in multivariable...

Globalization, the process by which local social-ecological systems (SESs) are becoming linked in a global network, presents
policy scientists and practitioners with unique and difficult challenges. Although local SESs can be extremely complex, when they
become more tightly linked in the global system, complexity increases very rapidly as multi-scale and multi-level processes
become more important. Here, we argue that addressing these multi-scale and multi-level challenges requires a collection of
theories and models. We suggest that the conceptual domains of sustainability, resilience, and robustness provide a sufficiently
rich collection of theories and models, but overlapping definitions and confusion about how these conceptual domains articulate
with...

What makes social-ecological systems (SESs) robust? In this paper, we look at the institutional configurations that affect the
interactions among resources, resource users, public infrastructure providers, and public infrastructures. We propose a framework
that helps identify potential vulnerabilities of SESs to disturbances. All the links between components of this framework can fail
and thereby reduce the robustness of the system. We posit that the link between resource users and public infrastructure providers
is a key variable affecting the robustness of SESs that has frequently been ignored in the past. We illustrate the problems caused
by a disruption in this link. We then briefly describe the design principles originally developed for robust...

Migration is arguably one of the most important processes that link ecological and social systems across scales. Humans (and
other organisms) tend to move in pursuit of better resources (both social and environmental). Such mobility may serve as a coping
mechanism for short-term local-scale dilemmas and as a means of distributing organisms in relation to resources. Movement also
may be viewed as a shift to a larger scale; that is, while it may solve short-term local problems, it may simultaneously have longer
term and larger scale consequences. We conduct a quantitative analysis using dynamic modeling motivated by an archaeological
case study to explore the dynamics that arise when population movement serves as a link between spatial scales. We use the...

We developed an empirical approach to consider social-ecological system change and transformation by drawing on resource
users’ knowledge and perceptions. We applied this approach in the Cau Hai lagoon, a coastal area dominated by
small-scale fisheries in central Vietnam. Nine focus groups with more than 70 fishers were used to gather information about key
social-ecological system elements and interactions, historical social-ecological dynamics, and possible thresholds between distinct
social-ecological system identities. The patterns of change in livelihoods and resource exploitation in the Cau Hai lagoon are
similar to those seen in other coastal lagoon and small-scale fishery contexts. Our findings show some promise for the use of
local...

Understanding the social and ecological consequences of species invasions is complicated by nonlinearities in processes, and
differences in process and structure as scale is changed. Here we use discontinuity analyses to investigate nonlinear patterns in the
distribution of biomass of an invasive nuisance species that could indicate scale-specific organization. We analyze biomass
patterns in the flagellate Gonyostomum semen (Raphidophyta) in 75 boreal lakes during an 11-year period (1997-2007). With
simulations using a unimodal null model and cluster analysis, we identified regional groupings of lakes based on their biomass
patterns. We evaluated the variability of membership of individual lakes in regional biomass groups. Temporal trends in local

Revealing the adaptive responses of ecological, social, and economic systems to a transforming biosphere is crucial for
understanding system resilience and preventing collapse. However, testing the theory that underpins complex adaptive system
organization (e.g., panarchy theory) is challenging. We used multivariate time series modeling to identify scale-specific system
organization and, by extension, apparent resilience mechanisms. We used a 20-year time series of invertebrates and phytoplankton
from 26 Swedish lakes to test the proposition that a few key-structuring environmental variables at specific scales create
discontinuities in community dynamics. Cross-scale structure was manifested in two independent species groups within both
communities across...

Resilience is emerging as a promising vehicle for improving management of social-ecological systems that can potentially lead to
more sustainable arrangements between environmental and social spheres. Central to an understanding of how to support
resilience is the need to understand social change and its links with adaptation and transformation. Our aim is to contribute to
insights about and understanding of underlying social dynamics at play in social-ecological systems. We argue that longstanding
indigenous practices provide opportunities for investigating processes of adaptation and transformation. We use in-depth analysis

This paper explores the relationship between resilience and globalization. We are concerned, most importantly, with whether
resilience is a suitable conceptual framework for natural resource management in the context of the rapid changes and disruptions
that globalization causes in social-ecological systems. Although theoretical in scope, we ground this analysis using our
experiences in two Asian coastal areas: Junagadh District in Gujarat State, India and Banawa Selatan, in Central Sulawesi,
Indonesia. We present the histories of resource exploitation in the two areas, and we attempt to combine a resilience perspective
with close attention to the impact of globalization. Our efforts serve as a basis from which to examine the conceptual and

Over the past century, regional fisheries for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) have been managed primarily for their
provisioning function, not for ecological support and cultural significance. We examine the resilience of the regional salmon
fisheries of Japan, the Russian Far East, Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington-Oregon-California (WOC) in terms of their
provisioning function. Using the three dimensions of the adaptive cycle—capital, connectedness, and
resilience—we infer the resilience of the five fisheries based on a qualitative assessment of capital accumulation and
connectedness at the regional scale. In our assessment, we evaluate natural capital and connectedness and constructed capital and

Many recent studies observe the increasing importance, influence, and analysis of resilience as a concept to understand the
capacity of a system or individual to respond to change. The term has achieved prominence in diverse scientific fields, as well as
public discourse and policy arenas. As a result, resilience has been referred to as a boundary object or a bridging concept that is
able to facilitate communication and understanding across disciplines, coordinate groups of actors or stakeholders, and build
consensus around particular policy issues. We present a network analysis of bibliometric data to understand the extent to which
resilience can be considered as a boundary object or a bridging concept in terms of its links across disciplines and...

The last two decades have seen a proliferation of research frameworks that emphasise the importance of understanding adaptive

dynamics relate to multilevel social-ecological processes occurring at different scales, where the lower levels combine into new
units with new organizations, functions, and emergent properties or collective behaviors. After a brief review of the concept of
“cultural adaptation” from the perspective of cultural evolutionary theory, the core of the paper is
constructed around the exploration of multilevel processes occurring at the temporal, spatial, social, and political scales. We...

Community-based conservation institutions can be conceptualized as complex adaptive systems that pass through a cycle of
growth, maturation, collapse, and reorganization. We test the applicability of this four-phase adaptive cycle in the institutional
context of the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), Nepal. We use the adaptive cycle to assess changes in structures and
processes and to explore the past, present, and possible future trends in ACA. We focus on the crisis brought about by the Maoist

The Capacity of Property Rights to Accommodate Social-Ecological Resilience

Here, I consider how social-ecological resilience can be facilitated by the use of property rights. Taking a legal perspective on the
use of different forms of property, I consider how property rules can manifest the attributes of flexibility, responsiveness,
optionality, and scalability associated with resilient systems. I note how different regulatory regimes such as domestic law and
international law have differing capacities to accommodate property rights, and this in turn affects the capability of property to
sustain resilience. The fluid nature of resilience and property systems defies simple conclusions about the influence of property
rights on resilience. However, it is possible to make some general observations on how well-suited archetype forms...

Urban green spaces provide socially valuable ecosystem services. Through an historical analysis of the development of the

generated in the cultural landscape. External pressures resulting in urban sprawl in the Stockholm metropolitan region
increasingly challenge the capacity of the NUP to continue to generate valuable ecosystem services. Setting aside protected areas,
without accounting for the role of human stewardship of the cultural landscape, will most likely fail. In a social inventory of the

My goal was to describe how biological and ecological factors give shape to fishing practices that can contribute to the successful
self-governance of a small-scale fishing system in the Gulf of California, Mexico. The analysis was based on a comparison of the
main ecological and biological indicators that fishers claim to use to govern their day-to-day decision making about fishing and
data collected in situ. I found that certain indicators allow fishers to learn about differences and characteristics of the resource
system and its units. Fishers use such information to guide their day-to-day fishing decisions. More importantly, these decisions
appear unable to shape the reproductive viability of the fishery because no indicators were correlated to the...

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is one of the most powerful and controversial environmental laws in the United States. As a
result of its uncompromising position against biodiversity loss, the ESA has become the primary driver of many ecological
restoration efforts in the United States. This article explains why the ESA has become the impetus for so many of these efforts and
assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the ESA as a primary driver from a resilience-based perspective. It argues that in order
to accommodate resilience theory, several changes to ESA implementation and enforcement should be made. First and foremost,
there is a need to shift management strategies from a species-centered to a systems-based approach. Chief among the shifts

Human adaptation remains an insufficiently studied part of the subject of climate change. This paper examines the questions of

people of the small community of Sachs Harbour in Canada's western Arctic have been tracking climate change throughout the
1990s. We analyze the adaptive capacity of this community to deal with climate change. Short-term responses to changes in
land-based activities, which are identified as coping mechanisms, are one component of this adaptive capacity. The second
component is related to cultural and ecological adaptations of the Inuvialuit for life in a highly variable and uncertain
environment; these...

challenges through research and policy. This paper explores temporal and agency dimensions of adaptive capacity in practice to
better understand how system conditions and attributes enable adaptation. An institutional dynamics lens is employed to
systemically examine empirical cases of change in urban water management. Comparative analysis of two Australian cities'
drought response is conducted using institutional analysis and qualitative system dynamics mapping techniques. The study finds
that three...

Improving our ability to manage complex, rapidly changing social-ecological systems is one of the defining challenges of the 21st
century. This is particularly crucial if large-scale poverty alleviation is to be secured without undermining the capacity of the
environment to support future generations. To address this challenge, strategies that enable judicious management of
social-ecological systems in the face of substantive uncertainty are needed. Several such strategies are emerging from the
developing body of work on complexity and resilience. We identify and discuss four strategies, providing practical examples of
how each strategy has been applied in innovative ways to manage turbulent social-ecological change in South Africa and the
broader region:...

Classic ecological concepts and forestry language regarding old growth are not well suited to frequent-fire landscapes. In
frequent-fire, old-growth landscapes, there is a symbiotic relationship between the trees, the understory graminoids, and fire that
results in a healthy ecosystem. Patches of old growth interspersed with younger growth and open, grassy areas provide a wide
variety of habitats for animals, and have a higher level of biodiversity. Fire suppression is detrimental to these forests, and
eventually destroys all old growth. The reintroduction of fire into degraded frequent-fire, old-growth forests, accompanied by
appropriate thinning, can restore a balance to these ecosystems. Several areas require further research and study: 1) the ability...

The resilience of a social-ecological system is measured by its ability to retain core functionality when subjected to perturbation.
Resilience is contextually dependent on the state of system components, the complex interactions among these components, and
the timing, location, and magnitude of perturbations. The stability landscape concept provides a useful framework for considering
resilience within the specified context of a particular social-ecological system but has proven difficult to operationalize. This
difficulty stems largely from the complex, multidimensional nature of the systems of interest and uncertainty in system response.
Agent-based models are an effective methodology for understanding how cross-scale processes within and across social...

Communities of Alaska’s North Slope face increased stresses from cumulative effects of industrial development,
resource use, and changing cryospheric and socioeconomic conditions. Given these multiple pressures, what avenues exist for
citizens and decision makers to exchange knowledge about impacts of oil resource extraction in Alaska, and how do the successes
and failures of knowledge exchange affect the resilience of the local social ecological system? We focused our research on the risk
management process of Alaska North Slope oil resources, drawing on literature that has grown out of the risk society thesis and
concepts of resilience science. We surveyed state and federal initiatives designed to increase local and indigenous stakeholder...

Conceptualizing power to study social-ecological interactions

Autores: Boonstra, Wiebren J; Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University; [email protected].
My aim is to conceptualize power using social science theory and to demonstrate why and how the concept of power can
complement resilience studies and other analyses of social-ecological interaction. Social power as a scientific concept refers to the
ability to influence both conduct and context. These two dimensions of power (conduct and context) can be observed by
differentiating between various sources of power, including, for example, technology or mental power. The relevance of the
conceptualization of power presented here is illustrated with the example of fire as a source of social-ecological power. I conclude
by discussing how attention to power can help to address issues of social justice and responsibility in social-ecological
interactions.

We investigated wildfire-related effects on a slow ecological variable, i.e., forage production, and fast social-ecological variables,
i.e., seasonal harvest rates, hunter access, and forage offtake, in a moose–hunter system in interior Alaska. In a 1994
burn, average forage production increased slightly (5%) between 2007 and 2013; however, the proportional removal across all
sites declined significantly (10%). This suggests that moose are not utilizing the burn as much as they have in the past and that, as
the burn has aged, the apparent habitat quality has declined. Areas with a greater proportion of accessible burned area supported
both high numbers of hunters and harvested moose. Our results suggest that evaluating ecological variables in...

In coupled social–ecological systems, the same driving forces can result in combined social and environmental health
inequities, hazards, and impacts. Policies that decrease social inequities and improve social cohesion, however, also have the
potential to improve health outcomes and to minimize and offset the drivers of ecosystem change. Actions that address both
biophysical and social environments have the potential to create a "double dividend" that improves human health, while also

Employing the adaptive cycle and panarchy in perturbed urban systems can contribute to a better understanding of how these
systems respond to broad-scale changes such as war and sea level rise. In this paper we apply a resilience perspective to examine
regime shifts in Charleston, South Carolina from a historical perspective. We then look more closely at changes that occurred in
Charleston in recent decades, including Hurricane Hugo, and the potential effects of these changes on resilience of the
social-ecological system to future shocks. We close with a discussion combining social and ecological perspectives to examine
future regime-shift scenarios in the Charleston case and suggest ways to better understand resilience in other coastal urban
systems.

Resilience deals explicitly with change and provides a middle ground between the social and the environmental sciences.
However, a growing critique by social scientists questions the ability of resilience thinking to adequately examine the social
dimensions of change. The question that emerges is how social scientists should engage with resilience. We addressed this
question by comparing resilience with agrarian change and transitions theory, through the backdrop of the fastest growing global
food sector, aquaculture. Our analysis showed that each theoretical perspective provides fundamentally different insights into
social and environmental transition inherent in the aquaculture sector. Although resilience thinking is best suited to assessing the...

Wildland fire management in the United States is caught in a rigidity trap, an inability to apply novelty and innovation in the
midst of crisis. Despite wide recognition that public agencies should engage in ecological fire restoration, fire suppression still
dominates planning and management, and restoration has failed to gain traction. The U.S. Fire Learning Network (FLN), a
multiscalar collaborative endeavor established in 2002 by federal land management agencies and The Nature Conservancy, offers

Taking departure in the theory of resilience in social-ecological systems, we present an analysis and discussion of how resilience
theory can be applied to agroecosystems. Building on the premise that agroecosystems are too complex for resilience to be
measured in any precise manner, we delineate behavior-based indicators of resilience within agroecosystems. Based on a review
of relevant literature, we present and discuss an index of 13 such indicators, which, when identified in an agroecosystem, suggest
that it is resilient and endowed with the capacity for adaptation and transformation. Absence of these indicators identifies points of
intervention for managers and stakeholders to build resilience where there is vulnerability. The indicators encompass...

Plans to solve complex environmental problems should always consider the role of surprise. Nevertheless, there is a tendency to
emphasize known computable aspects of a problem while neglecting aspects that are unknown and failing to ask questions about
them. The tendency to ignore the noncomputable can be countered by considering a wide range of perspectives, encouraging
transparency with regard to conflicting viewpoints, stimulating a diversity of models, and managing for the emergence of new
syntheses that reorganize fragmentary knowledge.

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) scenarios address changes in ecosystem services and their implications for human
well-being. Ecological changes pose special challenges for long-term thinking, because of the possibility of regime shifts that
occur rapidly yet alter the availability of ecosystem services for generations. Moreover, ecological feedbacks can intensify human
modification of ecosystems, creating a spiral of poverty and ecosystem degradation. Such complex dynamics were evaluated by a
mixture of qualitative and quantitative analyses in the MA scenarios. Collectively, the scenarios explore problems such as the
connections of poverty reduction and ecosystem services, and trade-offs among ecosystem services.

Adaptive Capacity and Traps
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Carpenter, Stephen R; University of Wisconsin-Madison; [email protected]; Brock, William A.; University of
Wisconsin-Madison; [email protected].
Adaptive capacity is the ability of a living system, such as a social–ecological system, to adjust responses to changing
internal demands and external drivers. Although adaptive capacity is a frequent topic of study in the resilience literature, there are
few formal models. This paper introduces such a model and uses it to explore adaptive capacity by contrast with the opposite
condition, or traps. In a social–ecological rigidity trap, strong self-reinforcing controls prevent the flexibility needed
for adaptation. In the model, too much control erodes adaptive capacity and thereby increases the risk of catastrophic breakdown.
In a social–ecological poverty trap, loose connections prevent the mobilization of ideas and resources...

The dynamics of and policies governing spatially coupled social-ecological mosaics are considered for the case of fisheries in a
lake district. A microeconomic model of households addresses agent decisions at three hierarchic levels: (1) selection of the lake
district from among a larger set of alternative places to live or visit, (2) selection of a base location within the lake district, and (3)
selection of a portfolio of ecosystem services to use. Ecosystem services are represented by dynamics of fish production subject to
multiple stable domains and trophic cascades. Policy calculations show that optimal policies will be highly heterogeneous in space
and fluid in time. The diversity of possible outcomes is illustrated by simulations for a hypothetical...

Lake water quality and ecosystem services are normally maintained by several feedbacks. Among these are nutrient retention

from sediments. In degraded lakes, these resilience mechanisms are replaced by new ones that connect lakes to larger, regional

absence of wetlands and riparian forests, and changes in lake food webs and biogeochemistry that channel phosphorus to blooms

This paper contends that natural resource management (NRM) issues are, by their very nature, complex and that both scientists
and managers in this broad field will benefit from a theoretical understanding of complex systems. It starts off by presenting the
core features of a view of complexity that not only deals with the limits to our understanding, but also points toward a responsible
and motivating position. Everything we do involves explicit or implicit modeling, and as we can never have comprehensive access
to any complex system, we need to be aware both of what we leave out as we model and of the implications of the choice of our
modeling framework. One vantage point is never sufficient, as complexity necessarily implies that multiple (independent)...

Aboriginal peoples’ respect for grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) is widely acknowledged, but rarely explored, in wildlife
management discourse in northern Canada. Practices of respect expressed toward bears were observed and grouped into four
categories: terminology, stories, reciprocity, and ritual. In the southwest Yukon, practices in all four categories form a coherent
qualitative resource management system that may enhance the resilience of the bear-human system as a whole. This system also
demonstrates the possibility of a previously unrecognized human role in maintaining productive riparian ecosystems and salmon
runs, potentially providing a range of valued social-ecological outcomes. Practices of respect hold promise for new strategies to...

The southern Piedmont of the southeastern United States epitomizes the complex and seemingly intractable problems and hard

problems involving complex systems: (1) scale dependencies and cross-scale, often nonlinear relationships;
(2) resilience, in
particular the potential for complex systems to move to alternate stable states with decreased ecological and/or economic value;
and (3) uncertainty in the ability to understand and predict outcomes, perhaps particularly those that occur as a result of human
impacts. We consider these issues in the context of landscape-level decision making, using as an example water resources and

This paper outlines the qualitative components (the storylines) of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) scenarios.
Drawing on a mixture of expert knowledge, experience, and published literature, we have explored plausible consequences of four
trajectories for human development. The storylines have been designed to draw out both benefits and risks for ecosystems and
human well-being in all four trajectories with enough richness of detail to allow readers to immerse themselves in the world of the
scenario. Only a summarized version of the storylines is presented here; readers are encouraged to read the more detailed versions
(MA 2005). Together with the quantitative models (Alcamo et al. 2005) the storylines provide a base from which others can

Legitimacy, Adaptation, and Resilience in Ecosystem Management
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Cosens, Barbara A; University of Idaho College of Law; [email protected].
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 necessary to
foster resilience in an ecological system such as the use of adaptive management and integrated ecosystem management.
However, these changes to governance needed to foster ecosystem resilience will not be adopted by democratic societies without
careful attention to their effect on the social system itself. Delegation of increased flexibility for adaptive management to
resource management agencies must include careful attention to assuring that increased flexibility is exercised in a manner that
is...

The role of public education in governance for resilience in a rapidly changing Arctic
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Cost, Douglas S; University of Alaska Fairbanks; [email protected].
Education and learning possess powerful potential in affecting future resilience and sustainable states. Here, I focus on unpacking
and examining the connections and feedbacks between social-environmental systems (SESs), resilience, and compulsory
education. SESs have been problematized as frequently having a poor fit between environmental change and policy solutions. The
last few decades have witnessed global recognition of climate change in the Arctic. This has led to discussion and debate over the
role of schools in addressing local knowledge, environmental changes, and community priorities. In Alaska, USA, and other
Arctic regions, the role of public schools in improving this fit has been largely overlooked. I hypothesize that, as extensions of...

Can We Be Both Resilient and Well, and What Choices Do People Have? Incorporating Agency into
the Resilience Debate from a Fisheries Perspective.
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Coulthard, Sarah; University of Ulster; [email protected].
In the midst of a global fisheries crisis, there has been great interest in the fostering of adaptation and resilience in fisheries, as a
means to reduce vulnerability and improve the capacity of fishing society to adapt to change. However, enhanced resilience does
not automatically result in improved well-being of people, and adaptation strategies are riddled with difficult choices, or
trade-offs, that people must negotiate. This paper uses the context of fisheries to explore some apparent tensions between adapting
to change on the one hand, and the pursuit of well-being on the other, and illustrates that trade-offs can operate at different levels
of scale. It argues that policies that seek to support fisheries resilience need to be built on a better...

Of Models and Meanings: Cultural Resilience in Social–Ecological Systems
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Crane, Todd A.; Technology and Agrarian Development, Wageningen University; [email protected].
Modeling has emerged as a key technology in analysis of social–ecological systems. However, the tendency for
modeling to focus on the mechanistic materiality of biophysical systems obscures the diversity of performative social behaviors
and normative cultural positions of actors within the modeled system. The fact that changes in the biophysical system can be
culturally constructed in different ways means that the perception and pursuit of adaptive pathways can be highly variable.
Furthermore, the adoption of biophysically resilient livelihoods can occur under conditions that are subjectively experienced as
the radical transformation of cultural systems. The objectives of this work are to: (1) highlight the importance of understanding the

Risk Mapping for Avian Influenza: a Social–Ecological Problem
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Cumming, Graeme S.; Percy FitzPatrick Institute, DST/NRF Centre of Excellence, University of Cape Town;

Pathogen dynamics are inseparable from the broader environmental context in which pathogens occur. Although some pathogens
of people are primarily limited to the human population, occurrences of zoonoses and vector-borne diseases are intimately linked
to ecosystems. The emergence of these diseases is currently being driven by a variety of influences that include, among other
things, changes in the human population, long-distance travel, high-intensity animal-production systems, and anthropogenic
modification of ecosystems. Anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems have both direct and indirect (food-web mediated) effects.
Therefore, understanding disease risk for zoonoses is a social–ecological problem.

Two models of post-disturbance regeneration of vegetation in areas of oligotrophic soils have been proposed for temperate
regions. The first model is characterized by rapid recovery of the floristic composition, due to the fire resistance of plants; while in
the second model, the fire causes extensive mortality and the recovery occurs by recruitment from the seed bank. Since these
models have been rarely tested in tropical oligotrophic environments, we applied them in the analysis of floristic compositions in
three areas with different post-fire regeneration times in Sergipe State, Brazil. The regeneration followed the seed bank
recruitment model in places of bare ground, with a progressive increase in plant density and changes in the relative abundance...

In the context of accelerated global change, the concept of resilience, with its roots in ecological theory and complex adaptive
systems, has emerged as the favored framework for understanding and responding to the dynamics of change. Its transfer from
ecological to social contexts, however, has led to the concept being interpreted in multiple ways across numerous disciplines
causing significant challenges for its practical application. The aim of this paper is to improve conceptual clarity within resilience
thinking so that resilience can be interpreted and articulated in ways that enhance its utility and explanatory power, not only
theoretically but also operationally. We argue that the current confusion and ambiguity within resilience thinking is...

The need to reduce human impacts on ecosystems creates pressure for adequate response, but the rush to solutions fosters the
oversimplification of such notions as sustainable development and ecosystem health. Hence, it favors the tendency to ignore the
complexity of natural systems. In this paper, after a brief analysis of the use and abuse of the notion of ecosystem health, we
address the problem of a sound definition of ecosystem integrity, critically review the different methodological and conceptual
approaches to the management of natural resources, and sketch the practical implications stemming from their implementation.
We show thatthere are merits and limitations in different definitions of ecosystem integrity, for each acknowledges different...

It is extremely important for biodiversity conservation that protected areas are resilient to a range of potential future perturbations.
One of the least studied influences on protected area resilience is that of disease. We argue that wildlife disease (1) is a
social-ecological problem that must be approached from an interdisciplinary perspective; (2) has the potential to lead to changes in
the identity of protected areas, possibly transforming them; and (3) interacts with conservation both directly (via impacts on wild
animals, livestock, and people) and indirectly (via the public, conservation management, and veterinary responses). We use
southern African protected areas as a case study to test a framework for exploring the connections between...

The growing awareness about the need to anticipate the future of land systems focuses on how well we understand the interactions
between society and environmental processes within a complexity framework. A major barrier to understanding is insufficient
attention given to long (multidecadal) temporal perspectives on complex system behavior that can provide insights through both
analog and evolutionary approaches. Analogs are useful in generating typologies of generic system behavior, whereas
evolutionary assessments provide insight into site-specific system properties. Four dimensions of these properties: (1) trends and
trajectories, (2) frequencies, thresholds and alternate steady states, (3) slow and fast processes, and (4) legacies and contingencies,

Qualification of the adaptive capacities of livestock farming systems

Autores: Dedieu,Benoît.
This paper aims at exploring what is covered by « adapting to last » with a farming systems approach. Long term dynamics can be
analysed as adaptive cycles, the system being permanently exposed to disturbances and shocks. Mobilizing the concept of
resilience, we analyse the factors that differentiate the principles for long term action the livestock farmers have, principles which
give consistency to the family - farms trajectories. With the concept of operational flexibilty, we qualify the sources of flexibility
the livestock farmers maintain to cope with hazards. They are internal, related to the production process regulation properties, to
the technical (adaptive or rigid) specifications, to the sales policies, or external related to the information and...

Resilience

We pursued the following three interconnected points: (1) there are unexplored opportunities for resilience scholars from different
disciplines to cross-inspire and inform, (2) a systems perspective may enhance understanding of human resilience in health and
social settings, and (3) resilience is often considered to be fractal, i.e., a phenomenon with recognizable or recurring features at a
variety of scales. Following a consideration of resilience from a systems perspective, we explain how resilience can, for analytic
purposes, be constructed at four scales: micro, meso, macro, and cross-scale. Adding to the cross-scale perspective of the
social-ecological field, we have suggested an analytical framework for resilience studies of the health field, which...

We perform a model analysis to study the origins of limited resilience in coupled ecological-economic systems. We demonstrate
that under open access to ecosystems for profit-maximizing harvesting forms, the resilience properties of the system are
essentially determined by consumer preferences for ecosystem services. In particular, we show that complementarity and relative
importance of ecosystem services in consumption may significantly decrease the resilience of (almost) any given state of the
system. We conclude that the role of consumer preferences and management institutions is not just to facilitate adaptation to, or
transformation of, some natural dynamics of ecosystems. Rather, consumer preferences and management institutions are

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. Here, social network analysis is used to analyze
farmer labor-exchange networks within a chronosequence of five Q’eqchi’ Maya villages where
swidden agriculture is used. Results suggest that changes in land-use patterns, network structure, reciprocity rates, and levels of
network hierarchy may increase the resilience of these villages to changes in the forest’s agricultural productivity
caused by ongoing agricultural activity. I analyze the suitability of subsistence- versus market-oriented agricultural labor for...

Social-ecological resilience is an increasingly central paradigm for understanding sustainable resource management. In this study,
we aimed to better understand the effect of environmental variability on the resilience of fishery systems, and the important role
that social institutions and biophysical constraints play. To explore these issues, we built a dynamic model of the pen shell fishery
of the indigenous Seri people in the Gulf of California, Mexico. This model included the dynamics of the two dominant species in
the fishery (Atrina tuberculosa and Pinna rugosa), several institutional rules that the Seri use, and a number of ecological

The concept of resilience continues to crescendo since the 1990s, touching on multiple fields with multiple interpretations and
uses. Here, we start from its origins in systems ecology, framing the resilience concept explicitly in the adaptive cycle with the
observation that resilient systems are ones that successfully navigate all stages of growth, development, collapse, and reorientation
of this cycle. The model is explored in terms of the traps and pathologies that hinder this successful navigation, particularly when
applied to socioeconomic organizations and decision-management situations. For example, for continuous function over the
adaptive life cycle, a system needs activation energy or resources to grow, followed by adequate structure and...

Since the mid-20th century, the Pyrenean pastoral social-ecological system (SES) has undergone socioeconomic and demographic
transformations leading to changes in grazing practices and a decline in the livestock industry. Land abandonment has contributed
to an ecological transition from herbaceous vegetation cover to shrublands and forests, leading to a loss of ecosystem services,
including biodiversity and forage. I interviewed 27 stockmen (ganaderos) in two valleys of the central Pyrenees to document their

Resilience thinking addresses the dynamics and development of complex social–ecological systems (SES). Three
aspects are central: resilience, adaptability and transformability. These aspects interrelate across multiple scales. Resilience in this
context is the capacity of a SES to continually change and adapt yet remain within critical thresholds. Adaptability is part of
resilience. It represents the capacity to adjust responses to changing external drivers and internal processes and thereby allow for
development along the current trajectory (stability domain). Transformability is the capacity to cross thresholds into new
development trajectories. Transformational change at smaller scales enables resilience at larger scales. The capacity to...

Humanity has emerged as a major force in the operation of the biosphere. The focus is shifting from the environment as
externality to the biosphere as precondition for social justice, economic development, and sustainability. In this article, we
exemplify the intertwined nature of social-ecological systems and emphasize that they operate within, and as embedded parts of
the biosphere and as such coevolve with and depend on it. We regard social-ecological systems as complex adaptive systems and
use a social-ecological resilience approach as a lens to address and understand their dynamics. We raise the challenge of
stewardship of development in concert with the biosphere for people in diverse contexts and places as critical for long-term

The extent to which education provides protection in the face of a large-scale natural disaster is investigated. Using longitudinal
population-representative survey data collected in two provinces on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, before and after the 2004
Indian Ocean tsunami, we examine changes in a broad array of indicators of well-being of adults. Focusing on adults who were
living, before the tsunami, in areas that were subsequently severely damaged by the tsunami, better educated males were more
likely to survive the tsunami, but education is not predictive of survival among females. Education is not associated with levels of
post-traumatic stress among survivors 1 year after the tsunami, or with the likelihood of being displaced. Where education...

Autores: Frisk, Michael G.; Duplisea, Daniel E.; Trenkel, Verena.
Abundance-occupancy (A-O) patterns were explored temporally and spatially for the Georges Bank finfish and shellfish
community to evaluate long-term trends in the assemblage structure and to identify anthropogenic and environmental drivers
impacting the ecosystem. Analyses were conducted for 32 species representing the assemblage from 1963 to 2006 using data from
the National Marine Fisheries Service's annual autumn bottom trawl survey. For individual species, occupancy was considered the
proportion of stations with at least one individual present, and abundance was estimated as the mean annual number of fish
captured per station. Intraspecific relationships were estimated to provide information on utilization of space by a species.

A Framework for Resilience-based Governance of Social-Ecological Systems

University of New Mexico, USA; [email protected].
Panarchy provides a heuristic to characterize the cross-scale dynamics of social-ecological systems and a framework for how
governance institutions should behave to be compatible with the ecosystems they manage. Managing for resilience will likely
require reform of law to account for the dynamics of social-ecological systems and achieve a substantive mandate that
accommodates the need for adaptation. In this paper, we suggest expansive legal reform by identifying the principles of reflexive
law as a possible mechanism for achieving a shift to resilience-based governance and leveraging cross-scale dynamics to provide
resilience-based responses to increasingly challenging environmental conditions.

In this paper, we review the empirical evidence of discontinuous distributions in complex systems within the context of panarchy
theory and discuss the significance of discontinuities for understanding emergent properties such as resilience. Over specific
spatial-temporal scale ranges, complex systems can configure in a variety of regimes, each defined by a characteristic set of
self-organized structures and processes. A system may remain within a regime or dramatically shift to another regime.
Understanding the drivers of regime shifts has provided critical insight into system structure and resilience. Although analyses of
regime shifts have tended to focus on the system level, new evidence suggests that the same system behaviors operate within
scales. In...

Around the world, the decreasing health of coral reef ecosystems has highlighted the need to better understand the processes of
reef degradation. The development of more sensitive tools, which complement traditional methods of monitoring coral reefs, may
reveal earlier signs of degradation and provide an opportunity for pre-emptive responses. We identify new, sensitive metrics of
ecosystem processes and benthic composition that allow us to quantify subtle, yet destabilizing, changes in the ecosystem state of
an inshore coral reef on the Great Barrier Reef. Following severe climatic disturbances over the period 2011-2012, the
herbivorous reef fish community of the reef did not change in terms of biomass or functional groups present. However,

Resilience thinkers share an interest in collaborative deliberation with communicative planners, who aim to accommodate
different forms of knowledge and styles of reasoning to promote social learning and yield creative and equitable agreements.
Members of both fields attended a symposium at Virginia Tech in late 2008, where communicative planners considered how
social–ecological resilience informed new possibilities for planning practice beyond disaster mitigation and response.
In turn, communicative planners offered resilience scholars ideas about how collaboration could accomplish more than enhance
rational decision making of the commons. Through these exchanges, the symposium fostered ideas about collaborative

major terrestrial biomes, and arrive at a total continental water vapor flow of 70,000 km3/yr (ranging from 56,000 to 84,000

activate networks and linkages at different spatial and institutional levels to provide information and resources related to
post-trauma recovery and rebuilding. The extension, intensification, and acceleration of cross-scale linkages and interactions in
response to trauma alter organizational couplings, which then contribute to the vulnerability and resilience of social-ecological

The paper compares two ambitious conceptual structures. The first is the understanding of social-ecological systems developed

Wallerstein's "world-systems" approach to analyzing hierarchical relationships between societies within global capitalism as
developed and applied across a broader historical range by Chase-Dunn and others. The two structures have important common
features, notably their multiscale explanatory framework, links with ideas concerning complex systems, and interest in cyclical
phenomena. They also have important differences. It is argued that there are gaps in both sets of ideas that the other might

Considering the challenges and threats currently facing water management and the exacerbation of uncertainty by climate change,
the need for flexible yet robust and legitimate environmental regulation is evident. The European Union took a novel approach
toward sustainable water resource management with the passage of the EU Water Framework Directive in 2000. The Directive
promotes sustainable water use through long-term protection of available water resources, progressively reduces discharges of
hazardous substances in ground and surface waters, and mitigates the effects of floods and droughts. The lofty goal of achieving
good status of all waters requires strong adaptive capacity, given the large amounts of uncertainty in water management. Striking

overcome critical events? We investigate in detail how the agricultural bioenergy sector in the German State of Brandenburg
adapted to diverse past events. The analysis rests on the adaptive-cycle concept of HOLLING and GUNDERSON (2002a), which
has been widely applied in socialecological systems research. Brandenburg’s bioenergy production displays properties of a system

drawn on a variety of case studies from Asia and other parts of the world to understand the underlying driving forces that have led
to the need for greater awareness and sustainable management of SEPLs. We have analyzed the drivers of these changes from
socio-political, legal, economic, and socio-cultural perspectives. The analysis shows that SEPLs contribute to local, national, and
global economies, and their production and harvesting processes are subject to external demands and pressures. Policy makers

Institutions are the mechanisms that integrate the human and ecological spheres. This paper discusses the institutional challenge of

recovery in the Columbia River Basin demonstrates the challenge. Despite the comprehensive scope of Basin salmon
management, it has a number of problems that illustrate the difficulties of designing institutions for ecosystem and human system

Human pressure could compromise the provision of ecosystem services if we do not implement strategies such as ecosystem

Salmon are inherently resilient species. However, this resiliency has been undermined in British Columbia by a century of
centralized, command-and-control management focused initially on maximizing yield and, more recently, on economic efficiency.
Community and cultural resiliency have also been undermined, especially by the recent emphasis on economic efficiency, which
has concentrated access in the hands of a few and has disenfranchised fishery-dependent communities. Recent declines in both
salmon stocks and salmon prices have revealed the systemic failure of the current management system. If salmon and their
fisheries are to become viable again, radically new management policies are needed. For the salmon species, the emphasis must

Historically, communities persisted in remote, isolated areas of Alaska in large part because of the abundance of marine and
terrestrial resources, as well as the ability of local people to opportunistically access those resources as they became available.
Species switching and the ability to shift effort away from fisheries during poor years allowed local residents to diversify their
livelihoods in the face of uncertainties and ecological change. The advent of modern fisheries management, which views Alaskan
fisheries as the property of all citizens of the United States, has fundamentally altered the relationship of place-based communities
to fishery resources. Local access to fisheries has been particularly affected by the development of transferable...

This paper examines the extent to which favourable off-farm labour market conditions coupled with growth in land values have
contributed to the observed resilience of small scale family farms. We use data from Northern Ireland and employ farm household
optimisation models to analyse household decision making processes that contribute to the observed inertia in farm structure. The
analysis indicates that farm household behaviour is influenced not just by current farm income, but also expected capital asset
returns. Increased wealth, associated with continuing land ownership, gives rise to the proposition that the link between off-farm
incomes, increased land values and remaining in farming may be associated with farmers pursuing wealth maximizing...

Indigenous communities have actively managed their environments for millennia using a diversity of resource use and
conservation strategies. Clam gardens, ancient rock-walled intertidal beach terraces, represent one example of an early mariculture
technology that may have been used to improve food security and confer resilience to coupled human-ocean systems. We
surveyed a coastal landscape for evidence of past resource use and management to gain insight into ancient resource stewardship

the resulting 3399 publications between 1967 and 2007 are related in terms of co-authorship and citations. The rapid increase in
the number of publications in the three knowledge domains continued over the last 2 years, and we still see an overlap between
the knowledge domains. We were also able to identify the “hot” publications of the last 2 years.

Managing the Resilience of Lakes: A Multi-agent Modeling Approach
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Janssen, Marco A; Indiana University; [email protected]; Carpenter, Stephen R; University of
Wisconsin-Madison; [email protected].
We demonstrate an approach for integrating social and ecological models to study ecosystem management strategies. We focus on
the management of lake eutrophication. A model has been developed in which the dynamics of the lake, the learning dynamics of
society, and the interactions between ecology and society are included. Analyses with the model show that active learning is
important to retain the resilience of lakes. Although very low levels of phosphorus in the water will not be reached, active learning
reduce the chance of catastrophic high phosphorus levels.

Overexploitation of Renewable Resources by Ancient Societies and the Role of Sunk-Cost Effects

Autores: Janssen, Marco A; Indiana University; [email protected]; Scheffer, Marten; Wageningen Agricultural University;

One of the most persistent mysteries in the history of humankind is the collapse of ancient societies. It is puzzling that societies
that achieved such high levels of development disappeared so suddenly. It has been argued that overexploitation of environmental
resources played a role in the collapse of such societies. In this paper, we propose an explanation why overexploitation seems
more common in ancient societies that built larger structures. This explanation is based on the well-studied sunk-cost effect in
human decision making: decisions are often based on past investments rather than expected future returns. This leads to an
unwillingness to abandon something (e. g., a settlement) if a great deal has been invested in it, even if future prospects...

Salmon, Science, and Reciprocity on the Northwest Coast
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Johnsen, D. Bruce; George Mason University; [email protected].
Severe depletion of many genetically distinct Pacific salmon populations has spawned a contentious debate over causation and the
efficacy of proposed solutions. No doubt the precipitating factor was overharvesting of the commons beginning along the
Northwest Coast around 1860. Yet, for millenia before that, a relatively dense population of Indian tribes managed salmon stocks
that have since been characterized as “superabundant.” This study investigates how they avoided a
tragedy of the commons, where in recent history, commercial ocean fishers guided by scientifically informed regulators, have
repeatedly failed. Unlike commercial fishers, the tribes enjoyed exclusive rights to terminal fisheries enforced through rigorous
reciprocity...

Ecosystem regime shifts, which are long-term system reorganizations, have profound implications for sustainability. There is a
great need for indicators of regime shifts, particularly methods that are applicable to data from real systems. We have developed a
form of Fisher information that measures dynamic order in complex systems. Here we propose the use of Fisher information as a
means of: (1) detecting dynamic regime shifts in ecosystems, and (2) assessing the quality of the shift in terms of intensity and
pervasiveness. Intensity is reflected by the degree of change in dynamic order, as determined by Fisher information, and
pervasiveness is a reflection of how many observable variables are affected by the change. We present a new robust methodology

As resilience is observed under circumstances of systemic stress, the various ecological zones of the Pamir Mountains of
Afghanistan and the cultural diversity contained within this milieu provide an appropriate setting from which to ask "How can a
dynamic concept of pluralism inform adaptation, survival, and resilience in the face of dramatic socio-cultural and environmental
change?" This paper asserts that understanding of resilience in coupled socio-cultural and ecological systems is enhanced by the
concept of pluralism. The idea of ecological niche is enriched by sensitivity to culture, religion, ethnicity, lifestyle, and habitat.

Current ecological, economic, and social conditions present unique challenges to natural resource managers seeking to maintain
the resilience of disturbance-dependent ecosystems, such as oak (Quercus spp.) forests. Oak-dominated ecosystems throughout
the U.S. have historically been perpetuated through periodic disturbance, such as fire, but more recently show decline given
shifting disturbance regimes associated with human land management decisions.

The Fate of Coho Salmon Nomads: The Story of an Estuarine-Rearing Strategy Promoting Resilience
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Koski, K V.; The Nature Conservancy Alaska Field Office, Juneau, Alaska, USA; [email protected].
The downstream movement of coho salmon nomads (age 0), conventionally considered surplus fry, has been an accepted
characteristic of juvenile coho salmon for the past 40 to 50 yr. The fate of these nomads, however, was not known and they were
assumed to perish in the ocean. Several studies and observations have recently provided new insights into the fate of nomads and
the role of the stream-estuary ecotone and estuary in developing this life history strategy that promotes coho resilience. Chinook
and sockeye salmon have developed the ocean-type life-history strategy to exploit the higher productivity of the estuarine
environment and migrate to the ocean at age 0. Nomad coho can acclimate to brackish water, and survive and grow well in the
stream-estuary...

Adaptive Harvesting in a Multiple-Species Coral-Reef Food Web
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Kramer, Daniel B; Michigan State University; [email protected].
The utility of traditional bio-economic harvest models suffers from their dependence on two commonly used approaches. First,
optimization is often assumed for harvester behavior despite system complexity and the often neglected costs associated with
information gathering and deliberation. Second, ecosystem interactions are infrequently modeled despite a growing awareness that
these interactions are important. This paper develops a simulation model to examine the consequences of harvesting at two trophic
levels in a coral-reef food web. The model assumes adaptive rather than optimizing behavior among fishermen.
The
consequences of changing economic, biological, and social parameters are examined using resilience as an evaluative framework.

Resilience is a vital attribute that characterizes a system’s capacity to cope with stress. Researchers have examined
the measurement of resilience in ecosystems and in social–ecological systems, and the comparative vulnerability of
social groups. Our paper refocuses attention on the processes and relations that create social resilience. Our central proposition is
that the creation of social resilience is linked to a community’s ability to access critical resources. We explore this
proposition through an analysis of how community resilience to the stress of water scarcity is influenced by historically contingent
mechanisms to gain, control, and maintain access to water. Access is defined broadly as the ability of a community...

The sustainability of regional development can be usefully explored through several different lenses. In situations in which
uncertainties and change are key features of the ecological landscape and social organization, critical factors for sustainability are
resilience, the capacity to cope and adapt, and the conservation of sources of innovation and renewal. However, interventions in
social-ecological systems with the aim of altering resilience immediately confront issues of governance. Who decides what should
be made resilient to what? For whom is resilience to be managed, and for what purpose? In this paper we draw on the insights
from a diverse set of case studies from around the world in which members of the Resilience Alliance have observed or...

and on target social-ecological systems. The Inner Mongolian rangeland was traditionally managed by indigenous people using
their own institutions that were adapted to the highly variable local climate and were able to maintain the resilience of the

Resilience, adaptability, and transformability are all tightly linked to the notion of change, whether in respect to coping with,
adapting to, or harnessing it. But in order to understand these forces of change, we first need to recognize its counterpart: identity.
Identity of a social-ecological system is not merely a static set of quantifiable feedbacks or indicators, but a more qualitative
characterization of what results from the overlap of the social and the ecological. To fully articulate these ideas, I turn to a unique
and enduring phenomenon: the traveling circus. Through the many forms they have taken over the last 150 yr, circuses have
changed significantly while sustaining a singular identity. As a successful and enduring social system, their...

Social-ecological systems are governed by a complex of ecology of games featuring multiple actors, policy institutions, and
issues, and not just single institutions operating in isolation. We update Long's (1958) ecology of games to analyze the
coordinating roles of actors and institutions in the context of the ecology of water management games in San Francisco Bay,
California. The ecology of games is operationalized as a bipartite network with actors participating in institutions, and exponential
random graph models are used to test hypotheses about the structural features of the network. We found that policy coordination is

A central goal of most sustainable agriculture programs is to encourage growers to adopt practices that jointly provide economic,

costs and benefits of sustainable viticulture practices recommended by sustainability outreach and certification programs. We
argue that the mix of environmental benefits, economic benefits, and economic costs determine whether or not a particular

The purpose of this essay is to define and refine the concepts of stability and resilience and to demonstrate their value in
understanding the behavior of exploited systems. Some ecological systems display several possible stable states. They may also
show a hysteresis effect in which, even after a long time, the state of the system may be partly determined by its history. The
concept of resilience depends upon our objectives, the types of disturbances that we anticipate, control measures that are available,
and the time scale of interest.

Livelihoods in Cambodian fishing communities are complex and dynamic. Fluctuations in resource abundance, seasonal cycles of
resource use, and changes in access create conditions that bring challenges for rural households, as do economic and policy
drivers. Nonetheless, people are continuously “doing something” in response to these stresses and
shocks. This paper sets out to explore how households and community members attempt to mitigate against such challenges. The
analysis of livelihood stresses and shocks in two Cambodian fishing villages shows that diversification is a commonly used

Multiple stable states or alternative equilibria in ecological systems have been recognized since the 1960s in the ecological
literature. Very often, the shift between alternative states occurs suddenly and the resource flows from these systems are modified.
Resilience is the capacity of a system to undergo disturbance and maintain its functions and controls. It has multiple levels of
meaning, from the metaphorical to the specific. However, most studies that explore resilience-related ideas have used resilience as
a metaphor or theoretical construct. In a few cases, it has been defined operationally in the context of a model of a particular
system. In this paper, resilience is defined consistently with the theoretical uses of the term, in the context of...

households as one element of social resilience. Resilience is in the context of transition theory, in which communities are

Indigenous disadvantage and poverty have persisted and are set to continue into the future. Although a large amount of work
describes the extent and nature of indigenous disadvantage and poverty, there is little evidence-based systems understanding of the
mechanisms that keep many indigenous people in their current dire state. In such a vacuum, policy makers are left to make
assumptions about the causal mechanisms. The persistence of inequality and poverty suffered by indigenous people is broadly
consistent with the existence of dynamical traps as described in both the resilience and development literature. We reviewed and

allelic richness of the seagrass Zostera noltii, in order to explore their respective influences on the resistance of the experimental
population to stress. Thus far intra-specific diversity was seldom taken into account in management plans, and restoration actions
showed very low success. Information is therefore needed to understand the factors affecting resistance and resilience of
populations. Results: Our results show a positive influence of both allelic and genotypic richness on the resistance of...

Four decades of theory and research on resilience in human development have yielded informative lessons for planning disaster
response and recovery. In developmental theory, resilience following disaster could take multiple forms, including stress
resistance, recovery, and positive transformation. Empirical findings suggest that fundamental adaptive systems play a key role in
the resilience of young people facing diverse threats, including attachment, agency, intelligence, behavior regulation systems, and
social interactions with family, peers, school, and community systems. Although human resilience research emphasizes the

There are natural differences among benthic communities along gradients of water temperature, light, nutrients, and organic

plant-animal symbioses tend to decrease, and the abundance of algae and heterotrophic suspension feeders and the ratio of organic

Across Europe, citizens are increasingly expected to participate in the implementation of flood risk management (FRM), by
engaging in voluntary-based activities to enhance preparedness, implementing property-level measures, and so forth. Although
citizen participation in FRM decision making is widely addressed in academic literature, citizens’ involvement in the
delivery of FRM measures is comparatively understudied. Drawing from public administration literature, we adopted the notion of

Resilience and vulnerability represent two related yet different approaches to understanding the response of systems and actors to
change; to shocks and surprises, as well as slow creeping changes. Their respective origins in ecological and social theory largely
explain the continuing differences in approach to social-ecological dimensions of change. However, there are many areas of
strong convergence. This paper explores the emerging linkages and complementarities between the concepts of resilience and
vulnerability to identify areas of synergy. We do this with regard to theory, methodology, and application. The paper seeks to go
beyond just recognizing the complementarities between the two approaches to demonstrate how researchers are actively

Faced with numerous seemingly intractable social and environmental challenges, many scholars and practitioners are increasingly
interested in understanding how to actively engage and transform the existing systems holding such problems in place. Although
a variety of analytical models have emerged in recent years, most emphasize either the social or ecological elements of such
transformations rather than their coupled nature. To address this, first we have presented a definition of the core elements of a
social-ecological system (SES) that could potentially be altered in a transformation. Second, we drew on insights about
transformation from three branches of literature focused on radical change, i.e., social movements, socio-technical transitions,
and...

Complex challenges demand complex solutions. By their very nature, these problems are difficult to define and are often the result
of rigid social structures that effectively act as “traps”. However, resilience theory and the adaptive cycle
can serve as a useful framework for understanding how humans may move beyond these traps and towards the social innovation
that is required to address many complex problems. This paper explores the critical question of whether networks help facilitate
innovations to bridge the seemingly insurmountable chasms of complex problems to create change across scales, thereby
increasing resilience. The argument is made that research has not yet adequately articulated the strategic agency that must be
present...

Ecologists have developed terminology to distinguish ecosystems based on the degree of human alteration. To this end,
ecosystems
can
be
characterized
as
“novel
ecosystems,”
“impacted
ecosystems,” or “designed ecosystems,” depending on the role of human management in
ecosystem development and effects on ecosystem properties. Properly classifying an ecosystem as novel, impacted, or designed
has critical implications for its conservation and management, but a broadly applicable definition for a “novel
ecosystem” does not exist. We have provided a formal definition of “novel ecosystem” that
facilitates its use in practical applications and have described four...

The resilience of small-scale fisheries in developed and developing countries has been used to provide lessons to conventional
managers regarding ways to transition toward a social-ecological approach to understanding and managing fisheries. We
contribute to the understanding of the relationship between management and the resilience of small-scale fisheries in developed
countries by looking at these dynamics in the wake of the shock of stock collapse and fisheries closures in two contexts:
Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and northern Norway. We revisit and update previous research on the gendered effects of
the collapse and closure of the Newfoundland and Labrador northern cod fishery and the closure of the Norwegian cod fishery in

As the complexity and interconnectedness of present-day social-ecological systems become steadily more apparent, there is
increasing pressure on governments, policy makers, and managers to take a systems approach to the challenges facing humanity.
However, how can this be done in the face of system complexity and uncertainties? In this paper we briefly discuss practical ways
that policy makers can take up the systems challenge. We focus on resilience thinking, and the use of influence diagrams,
causal-loop diagrams, and system archetypes. As a case study, set in the context of the climate-energy-water nexus, we use some
of these system concepts and tools to carry out an initial exploration of factors that can affect the resilience of the Australian...

Social-ecological Resilience and Biodiversity Conservation in a 900-year-old Protected Area

Autores: Newton, Adrian C; Bournemouth University; [email protected].
Protected areas are increasingly being recognized as coupled social-ecological systems, whose effectiveness depends on their
resilience. Here I present a historical profile of an individual case study, the New Forest (England), which was first designated as a
protected area more than 900 years ago. Uniquely, a traditional pattern of land use has been maintained ever since, providing a
rare opportunity to examine the resilience of an integrated social-ecological system over nine centuries. The New Forest
demonstrates that over the long term, coupled social-ecological systems can be resilient to major internal and external shocks,
including climate change, mass human mortality and war. Changes in governance had the greatest impact on the reserve itself,

This paper proposes and articulates a social relationships perspective of collaboration in the management of
social–ecological systems (SESs). It provides a conceptual premise for understanding the dynamics of long-term
social relationships that underlie collaborative processes. We argue that a resilience approach offers a better perspective for the
study of change in long-term relationships. A conceptual framework based on the theories of resilience and social relationships is
developed for analyzing the evolution of collaborative schemes. The essence of the framework is to facilitate understanding and
building of resilient social relationships for effective collaboration through interpreting and managing relational change. We
suggest that an...

Social contracts play an important role in defining the reciprocal rights, obligations, and responsibilities between states and
citizens. Climate change is creating new challenges for both states and citizens, inevitably forcing a rethinking of existing and
evolving social contracts. In particular, the social arrangements that enhance the well-being and security of both present and future
generations are likely to undergo dramatic transformations in response to ecosystem changes, more extreme weather events, and
the consequences of social–ecological changes in distant locations. The types of social contracts that evolve in the
face of a changing climate will have considerable implications for adaptation policies and processes. We consider how a...

We analyze the emergence of an adaptive co-management system for wetland landscape governance in southern Sweden, a
process where unconnected management by several actors in the landscape was mobilized, renewed, and reconfigured into
ecosystem management within about a decade. Our analysis highlights the social mechanisms behind the transformation toward
ecosystem management. The self-organizing process was triggered by perceived threats among members of various local
stewardship associations and local government to the area’s cultural and ecological values. These threats challenged
the development of ecosystem services in the area. We show how one individual, a key leader, played an instrumental role in
directing change and transforming...

In this article, we focus on adaptive governance of social–ecological systems (SES) and, more specifically, on social
factors that can enhance the fit between governance systems and ecosystems. The challenge lies in matching multilevel
governance system, often characterized by fragmented organizational and institutional structures and compartmentalized and
sectorized decision-making processes, with ecosystems characterized by complex interactions in time and space. The ability to
create the right links, at the right time, around the right issues in multilevel governance systems is crucial for fostering responses

Scholars and policy makers are becoming increasingly interested in the processes that lead to transformations toward
sustainability. We explored how resilience thinking, and a stronger focus on social-ecological systems, can contribute to existing
studies of sustainability transformations. First, we responded to two major points of critique: the claim that resilience theory is not
useful for addressing sustainability transformations, and that the role of “power” in transformation
processes has been underplayed by resilience scholars. Second, we highlighted promising work that combines insights from
different theoretical strands, a strategy that strengthens our understanding of sustainability transformations. We elaborated three

This paper examines the success of small-scale farming livelihoods in adapting to climate variability and change. We represent
adaptation actions as choices within a response space that includes coping but also longer-term adaptation actions, and define
success as those actions which promote system resilience, promote legitimate institutional change, and hence generate and sustain
collective action. We explore data on social responses from four regions across South Africa and Mozambique facing a variety of
climate risks. The analysis suggests that some collective adaptation actions enhance livelihood resilience to climate change and
variability but others have negative spillover effects to other scales. Any assessment of successful adaptation is, however,...

In recent years recurring political, economic, and environmental crises require questioning and re-evaluating dominant pathways
of human development. However, political and economic frameworks seem to encompass deeply rooted resistance to fundamental
changes (e.g., global financial crisis, climate change negotiations). In an effort to repair the system as fast as possible, those
paradigms, mechanisms, and structures that led into the crisis are perpetuated. Instead of preserving conventional patterns and
focusing on continuity, crises could be used as an opportunity for learning, adapting, and entering onto more sustainable
pathways. However, there are different ways not only of arguing for sustainable pathways of development but also of

This paper investigates the management strategies and responses used by New Zealand sheep and beef farmers to ensure resilience
during periods of hardship. Using two, farm level surveys conducted in 1986 and 2010, some aspects of resilient farming systems
were identified. Despite apparent hardship current farmers seemed more willing to take risks, with many more borrowing to invest
in on farm developments than those in 1986. The main similarity between time periods was the greatest response to economic
changes being the adoption of a low input policy. This result was quite significant, as conventional farmers are generally believed
to resort to other strategies or responses.

Subsistence-based and natural resource-dependent societies are especially vulnerable to climate change. In such contexts, food
security needs to be strengthened by investing in the adaptability of food systems. This paper looks into the role of
agrobiodiversity conservation for food security in the face of climate change. It identifies agrobiodiversity as a key public good
that delivers necessary services for human wellbeing. We argue that the public values provided by agrobiodiversity conservation
need to be demonstrated and captured. We offer an economic perspective of this challenge and highlight ways of capturing at least
a subset of the public values of agrobiodiversity to help adapt to and reduce the vulnerability of subsistence based economies to...

Urbanization is a widespread and rapidly growing threat to biodiversity, therefore we need a predictive understanding of its effects
on species and ecosystem processes. In this paper we study the impact of urbanization on a guild of nectar-feeding birds in a
biodiversity hotspot at the Cape of Africa. The guild of four bird species provides important ecosystem services by pollinating 320
plant species in the Cape Floral Region. Functional diversity within the guild is related to differences in bill length. The
long-billed Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa) plays an irreplaceable role as the exclusive pollinator of plant species with long
nectar tubes. We analyzed the composition of the guild in suburban gardens of Cape Town along a gradient of...

Evidence has accumulated that climate variability influences the state and functioning of marine ecosystems. At the same time
increasing pressure from exploitation and other human activities has been shown to impact exploited and non-exploited species
and potentially modify ecosystem structure. There has been a tendency among marine scientists to pose the question as a
dichotomy, i.e., whether (1) "natural" climate variability or (2) fishery exploitation bears the primary responsibility for population
declines in fish populations and the associated ecosystem changes. However, effects of both climate and exploitation are probably
substantially involved in most cases. More importantly, climate and exploitation interact in their effects, such that climate may...

Genomics to benefit livestock production: improving animal health

ABSTRACT The primary principle underlying the application of genomics is that it has the most value for difficult and expensive
to measure traits. These traits will differ between species and probably also between markets. Maintenance of health will be one of
the biggest challenges for efficient livestock production in the next few decades. This challenge will only increase in the face of
demand for animal protein, resistance to existing drugs, and the pressure to reduce the use of antibiotics in agriculture. There is
probably genetic variation in susceptibility for all diseases but little has been done to make use of this variation to date. In part this
is because it is very difficult as well as expensive to measure this variation. This suggests that...

Collaborative and adaptive approaches to environmental management have captured the attention of administrators, resource

investigates the dynamics of the adaptive co-management process and the variables that influence it. The investigation begins by
summarizing analytical and causal models relevant to the adaptive co-management process. Variables that influence this process
are then synthesized from diverse literatures, categorized as being exogenous or endogenous, and developed into respective
analytical frameworks. In identifying commonalities among models of the adaptive co-management process and discerning

Quantifying Biodiversity for Building Resilience for Food Security in Urban Landscapes: Getting
Down to Business
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Polasky, Steven; Department of Applied Economics, University of Minnesota ; [email protected].
A steady stream of ecosystem services is essential for human welfare and survival, and it has been convincingly shown that these
flows are being eroded. Compelling theoretical knowledge about essential connections between ecosystem service generation,
biodiversity, and resilience in social-ecological systems already exists; however, we still, to a great extent, lack spatially explicit
quantitative assessments for translating this theoretical knowledge into practice. We propose an approach for measuring the
change in flow and resilience of a regulating ecosystem service on a landscape scale over time when the landscape is exposed to
both land use change due to urban expansion, and change in a large-scale economic driver. Our results quantitatively show...

We aimed to contribute to the field of natural resource management (NRM) by introducing an alternative systemic context-based
framework for planning, research, and decision making, which we expressed practically in the development of a decision-making
“tool” or method. This holistic framework was developed in the process of studying a specific catchment
area, i.e., the Sand River Catchment, but we have proposed that it can be generalized to studying the complexities of other
catchment areas. Using the lens of systemic resilience to think about dynamic and complex environments differently, we have
reflected on the development of a systemic framework for understanding water and livelihood security under transformation in

The upcoming reform of the Common Agricultural Policy will put pressure on agricultural incomes and will cause more price
volatility and income risk for farms in the EU. This raises the question if and how farms will survive these disturbances. Farms are
able to survive only if they respond appropriately to disturbances. This resilience of farms is explained in this research by
analysing the number of strategies that farmers indicate that they will use in a situation where the current CAP will continue and
in a situation where it will disappear. The outcomes show that under both scenarios large more specialised farms with young farm
heads are most resilient, and small more diversified farms headed by old farmers are least resilient. Results also show that...

To gain insights on long-term social-ecological resilience, we examined adaptive responses of small-scale societies to
dryland-related hazards in different regions and chronological periods, spanning from the mid-Holocene to the present. Based on
evidence from Africa (Sahara and Sahel), Asia (south margin of the Thar desert), and Europe (South Spain), we discuss key traits
and coping practices of small-scale societies that are potentially relevant for building resilience. The selected case studies illustrate
four main coping mechanisms: mobility and migration, storage, commoning, and collective action driven by religious beliefs.
Ultimately, the study of resilience in the context of drylands emphasizes the importance of adaptive traits and practices that...

Fishers often rely on their social capital to cope with resource fluctuations by sharing information on the abundance and location
of fish. Drawing on research in seven coastal fishing communities in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico, we examine the effect
of resource scarcity on the bonding, bridging, and linking social-capital patterns of fishers’ information-sharing
networks. We found that: (1) fishers’ information sharing is activated in response to varying ecological conditions;
(2) resource scarcity is an ambiguous indicator of the extent to which fishers share information on the abundance and location of
fish within and between communities; (3) information sharing is based on trust and occurs through kinship, friendship, and...

The role of art and artistic processes is one fruitful yet underexplored area of social-ecological resilience. Art and art making can
nurture Indigenous knowledge and at the same time bridge knowledge across generations and cultures (e.g., Inuit and scientific).
Experiences in two Inuit communities in northern Canada (Cape Dorset and Pangnirtung, Nunavut) provide the context in which
we empirically examine the mechanisms through which art and art making may bridge knowledge systems about social-ecological
change. Art making and artworks create continuity between generations via symbols and skill development (e.g., seal skin
stretching for a modern artistic mural) and by creating mobile and adaptive boundary objects that function as a shared reference

Indigineity has emerged as an important area of focus for research and policy making on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and
resilience. Most research on indigeneity and DRR centers on indigenous knowledge and its integration with western scientific
understandings of hazards and risk. Through a detailed case study of the 2009 tsunami in American Samoa, we argue that
indigenous institutions also play a critical role in disaster risk reduction and resilience. Based on original data from semistructured
interviews, village planning meetings, and focus group discussions, we describe how the indigenous institutions of
fa’a Samoa, or the culture of Samoa, operated in a time of crisis by: (1) structuring emergency decision making and
authority; (2)...

In today’s world, rural areas are confronted with a spectrum of changes. These changes have multiple characters, varying from
changes in ecosystem conditions to socioeconomic impacts, such as food- and financial crises. They present serious problems to
rural management and largely affect future perspectives of rural areas. Rural resilience refers to the capacity of a rural region to
adapt to changing external circumstances in such a way that a satisfactory standard of living is maintained, while coping with its
inherent ecological, economic and social vulnerability. Rural resilience describes how rural areas are affected by external shocks
and how it influences system dynamics. This paper further eradicates on this concept, by exploring in detail what the...

People are part of a complex natural system and have the ability to actively interfere with their environment. Collective decisions
made by governments represent social rules that limit the extent of people's interference with the environment that support them.
Environmental decisions made by governments usually carry an ethical bias and are limited by the perception of the risks and
uncertainties that may affect society's well-being in the medium to long run. The recently published Guide to the proposed Basin
Plan represents a draft for a legislative instrument that aims to reclaim some of the water back onto the environment to safeguard
declining natural ecosystems in the Murray-Darling Basin. By limiting diversions into agricultural uses, irrigators in...

The societies and ecosystems of the Nigerien Sahel appeared increasingly vulnerable to climatic and economic uncertainty in the
late twentieth century. Severe episodes of drought and famine drove massive livestock losses and human migration and mortality.
Soil erosion and tree loss reduced a woodland to a scrub steppe and fed a myth of the Sahara desert relentlessly advancing
southward. Over the past two decades this myth has been shattered by the dramatic reforestation of more than 5 million hectares in
the Maradi and Zinder Regions of Niger. No single actor, policy, or practice appears behind this successful regreening of the
Sahel. Multiple actors, institutions and processes operated at different levels, times, and scales to initiate and sustain this...

Mechanical chiseling has been used to alleviate the effects of compaction in soils under no-tillage (NT). However, its effect on the
soil physical properties does not seem to have a defined duration period. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the behavior of
the bulk density (BD) and degree of compaction (DC) at different soil depths, after chiseling in no-tillage, for one year. The

Resilience thinking has in recent decades emerged as a key perspective within research and policy focusing on sustainable
development and the global environmental challenges of today. Originating from ecology, the concept has gained a reputation far
beyond its original disciplinary borders and now plays a key role in the study and practice of environmental governance in
general. Although I fully support the interdisciplinary ambitions of resilience thinking, I argue that if the resulting scholarly
insights and policy advice are to be of any true added value, resilience thinking should take existing social scientific advances
more seriously. In particular, I argue that resilience thinking does not give sufficient recognition to the already existing accounts...

Prescribed fire is a critical tool for promoting restoration and increasing resilience in fire-adapted ecosystems, but there are
barriers to its use, including a shortage of personnel with adequate ecological knowledge and operational expertise to implement
prescribed fire across multijurisdictional landscapes. In the United States, recognized needs for both professional development and
increased use of fire are not being met, often because of institutional limitations. The Fire Learning Network has been

Knowledge of the ecological effect of wildfire is important to resource managers, especially from forests in which past
anthropogenic influences, e.g., fire suppression and timber harvesting, have been limited. Changes to forest structure and
regeneration patterns were documented in a relatively unique old-growth Jeffrey pine-mixed conifer forest in northwestern
Mexico after a July 2003 wildfire. This forested area has never been harvested and fire suppression did not begin until the 1970s.
Fire effects were moderate especially considering that the wildfire occurred at the end of a severe, multi-year (1999-2003)
drought. Shrub consumption was an important factor in tree mortality and the dominance of Jeffrey pine increased after fire. The

sustained dialogue and the development of new social understandings. The article explores these briefly and draws illustratively

Faced with strict regulations, rising operational costs, depleted stocks, and competition from less expensive foreign imports, many
fishers are pursuing new ways to market and sell their catch. Direct marketing arrangements can increase the ex-vessel value of
seafood and profitability of operations for fishers by circumventing dominant wholesale chains of custody and capturing the
premium that customers are willing to pay for local seafood. Our analysis goes beyond a paradigm that understands direct
marketing arrangements as solely economic tools to consider how these emerging business configurations create a set of
conditions that can result in increased bonding and bridging capital among fishers by incentivizing cooperation, communication,

The textural discontinuity hypothesis (TDH) is based on the observation that animal body mass distributions exhibit
discontinuities that may reflect the texture of the landscape available for exploitation. This idea has been extended to other
complex systems, hinting that the identification and quantification of discontinuities in the distributions of appropriate variables
may provide clues to emergent system properties such as resilience. We propose a discontinuity index, based on the vector norm
of the full assemblage of observed discontinuities, as a means to quantify and compare this characteristic among systems. We also

In the United States, citizens, policy makers, and natural resource managers alike have become concerned about urban sprawl,
both locally and nationally. Most assessments of sprawl, or undesired growth patterns, have focused on quantifying land-use
changes in urban and metropolitan areas. It is critical for ecologists to examine and improve understanding of land-use changes
beyond the urban fringe—also called exurban sprawl—because of the extensive and widespread changes
that are occurring, and which often are located adjacent to or nearby “protected” lands.

Adaptation is a key feature of sustainable social–ecological systems. As societies traverse various temporal and
spatial scales, they are exposed to differing contexts and precursors for adaptation. A cursory view of the response to these
differing contexts and precursors suggests the particular ability of persistent societies to adapt to changing circumstances. Yet a
closer examination into the meaning of adaptation and its relationship to concepts of resilience, vulnerability, and sustainability
illustrates that, in many cases, societies actually manipulate their social–ecological contexts rather than adapt to them.
It could be argued that manipulative behaviors are a subset of a broader suite of adaptive behaviors; however, this...

On an increasingly populated planet, with decreasing biodiversity and limited new opportunities to tap unexploited natural

succeeded in addressing and managing some important threats to marine ecosystems, unintended consequences are often
associated with overlooking nonlinear interactions and cumulative impacts that increase the risk of surprises in social-ecological

The role of community-based natural resources management in the form of “greening” after large scale
system shocks and surprises is argued to provide multiple benefits via engagement with living elements of social-ecological
systems and subsequent enhanced resilience at multiple scales. The importance of so-called social-ecological symbols, especially
the potent hybrid symbols of trees and their handling after a disaster is interrogated. The paper explores the notion of hybridity,
and applies it to the hybrid symbol of the tree in postdisaster contexts. The paper briefly highlights three U.S. cases documenting
the symbolic roles of trees in a context of significant shock to a social-ecological system: the terrorist attacks on New...

Regime Shifts and Ecosystem Service Generation in Swedish Coastal Soft Bottom Habitats: When
Resilience is Undesirable
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Troell, Max; Beijer Institute; [email protected]; Pihl, Leif; ; [email protected]; Kautsky, Nils; ; [email protected].
Ecosystems can undergo regime shifts where they suddenly change from one state into another.  This can have
important implications for formulation of management strategies, if system characteristics develop that are undesirable from a
human perspective, and that have a high resistance to restoration efforts. This paper identifies some of the ecological and
economic consequences of increased abundance of filamentous algae on shallow soft bottoms along the Swedish west coast. It is
suggested that a successive increase in the sediment nutrient pool has undermined the resilience of these shallow systems. After
the regime shift has occurred, self-generation properties evolve keeping the system locked in a high-density algae state. The
structural and...

Resilience in Pre-contact Pacific Northwest Social Ecological Systems

Autores: Trosper, Ronald L; Northern Arizona University; [email protected].
If, like other ecosystems, the variable and dynamic ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest exhibited cycles and unpredictable
behavior, particularly when humans were present, the indigenous societies of that region had to have been resilient in order to
persist for such a long time. They persisted for two millennia prior to contact with people from the “old
world.” The Resilience Alliance (2002) proposes that social and ecological resilience requires three abilities: the
ability to buffer, the ability to self-organize, and the ability to learn. This paper suggests that the characteristics of the potlatch
system among Indians on the Northwest Coast, namely property rights, environmental ethics, rules of earning and holding titles,

Farmers of the Nuosu Yi ethnic group in the Upper Baiwu watershed report reductions in the availability of local forest resources.
A team of interdisciplinary scientists worked in partnership with this community to assess the type and extent of social-ecological
change in the watershed and to identify key drivers of those changes. Here, we combine a framework for institutional analysis
with resilience concepts to assess system dynamics and interactions among resource users, resources, and institutions over the past
century. The current state of this system reflects a legacy of past responses to institutional disturbances initiated at the larger,
national system scale. Beginning with the Communist Revolution in 1957 and continuing through the next two...

Resilience has been growing in importance as a perspective for governing social-ecological systems. The aim of this paper is first
to analyze a well-studied human dominated agroecosystem using five existing key heuristics of the resilience perspective and
second to discuss the consequences of using this resilience perspective for the future management of similar human dominated
agroecosystems. The human dominated agroecosystem is located in the Dutch Northern Frisian Woodlands where cooperatives
of dairy farmers have been attempting to organize a transition toward more viable and environmental friendly agrosystems. A
mobilizing element in the cooperatives was the ability of some dairy farmers to obtain high herbage and milk yield production

Many contemporary societal challenges manifest themselves in the domain of human–environment interactions.
There is a growing recognition that responses to these challenges formulated within current disciplinary boundaries, in isolation
from their wider contexts, cannot adequately address them. Here, we outline the need for an integrated, transdisciplinary synthesis
that allows for a holistic approach, and, above all, a much longer time perspective. We outline both the need for and the
fundamental characteristics of what we call “integrated history.” This approach promises to yield new
understandings

Enabling the Contextualization of Legal Rules in Responsive Strategies to Climate Change
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: van Rijswick, Marleen; ; [email protected]; Salet, Willem ; ; [email protected].
The paradigm of adaptive governance is paramount in policy discourses on the mitigation and adaptation strategies of climate
change. Adaptability, resilience, and cooperative approaches are promoted as the appropriate vehicles to meet the contemporary
conditions of uncertainty and complexity. We claim that the legitimacy and effectiveness of these responsive strategies might be
augmented via the use of legal perspectives. Rather than the instrumental use of command and control type of regulation, the legal
perspectives should focus on establishing principal norms that enable the search for different solutions in different contexts. From
these assumptions, the concept of legal obligation is explored as embodying the meaning of legality, and at the same time...

This paper is a work-in-progress account of ideas and propositions about resilience in social-ecological systems. It articulates our
understanding of how these complex systems change and what determines their ability to absorb disturbances in either their
ecological or their social domains. We call them “propositions” because, although they are useful in
helping us understand and compare different social-ecological systems, they are not sufficiently well defined to be considered
formal hypotheses. These propositions were developed in two workshops, in 2003 and 2004, in which participants compared the
dynamics of 15 case studies in a wide range of regions around the world. The propositions raise many questions, and we present a

Different uses of the terms "drivers," "variables," and "shocks" cause confusion in the literature and in discussions on the
dynamics of ecosystems and social–ecological systems. Three main sources of confusion are unclear definition of the
system, unclear definition of the role of people, and confusion between variables and drivers. As a contribution to resolving
some of the confusion, we offer one interpretation of how the terms might be used.

Institute; [email protected].
Urban neighborhoods form the basic functional unit of municipalities. Socioeconomically, they consist of social networks and
interlocking layers of social networks. Old, stable neighborhoods are blessed with large social networks and dense interlocking
layers. Both social control and social support depend on these complex structures of tight and loose ties. Public health and public
order depend on these structures. They are the basis of resilience of both the neighborhood itself and of the municipality that is
composed of neighborhoods. In New York City in the 1970s and later, domain shift occurred because of the disruption of the
socioeconomic structure by the massive destruction of low-rental housing. A combined epidemic of building fires and landlord...

Developmental Disorders as Pathological Resilience Domains
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Wallace, Rodrick; ; [email protected].
Ecosystem resilience theory permits novel exploration of developmental psychiatric and chronic physical disorders. Structured
psychosocial stress, and similar noxious exposures, can write distorted images of themselves onto child growth, and, if sufficiently
powerful, adult development as well, initiating a punctuated life course trajectory to characteristic forms of comorbid mind/body
dysfunction. For an individual, within the linked network of broadly cognitive psysiological and mental subsystems, this occurs in
a manner almost exactly similar to resilience domain shifts affecting a stressed ecosystem, suggesting that reversal or palliation
may often be exceedingly difficult. Thus resilience theory may contribute significant new perspectives to the...

Even as resilience thinking becomes evermore popular as part of strategic programming among development and humanitarian
organizations, uncertainty about how to define, operationalize, measure, and evaluate resilience for development goals prevails.
As a result, many organizations and institutions have undertaken individual, collective, and simultaneous efforts toward
clarification and definition. This has opened up a unique opportunity for a rethinking of development practices. The emergent
consensus about what resilience means within development practice will have important consequences both for development
practitioners and the communities in which they work. Incorporating resilience thinking into development practice has the
potential to radically...

The concept of ecosystem-based adaptation is advocated at international, national, and regional levels. The concept is thought to
foster sustainability transitions and is receiving increasing interest from academic and governmental bodies alike. However, there
is little theory regarding the pathways for its systematic implementation. It furthermore remains unclear to what degree the
concept is already applied in urban planning practice, how it is integrated into existing planning structures and processes, and
what drivers exist for further integration. Against this background, this study examines potential ways to sustainably mainstream
ecosystem-based adaptation into urban planning. Eight municipalities in Southern Germany were investigated to analyze the...

Managing for social-ecological resilience requires ongoing learning. In the context of nonlinear dynamics, surprise, and
uncertainty, resilience scholars have proposed adaptive management, in which policies and management actions are treated as
experiments, as one way of encouraging learning. However, the implementation of adaptive management has been problematic.
The legal system has been identified as an impediment to adaptive management, with its apparent prioritization of certainty over
flexibility, emphasis on checks and balances, protection of individual rights over public interests, and its search for
“transcendent justice” over “contingent truth.” However, although adaptive
management may encourage learning...

Scholars of comanagement are faced with a difficult methodological challenge. As comanagement has evolved and diversified it
has increasingly merged with the field of adaptive management and related concepts that derive from resilience thinking and
complex adaptive systems theory. In addition to earlier considerations of power sharing, institution building, and trust, the
adaptive turn in comanagement has brought attention to the process of social learning and a focus on concepts such as scale,
self-organization, and system trajectory. At the same time, a number of scholars are calling for a more integrated approach to
studying (adaptive) comanagement that is able to situate these normative concepts within a critical understanding of how context

Remote sensing and landscape ecology concepts can provide a useful framework for state-and-transition models (STM) in order to
quantify thresholds at different scales, and provide useful information for scientists, land managers, and conservationists in
relation to resilience management. The overall aim of this research was to develop a spatially explicit STM to quantify thresholds
based on the scale of disturbance processes impacting a grazing system. Specific objectives were to develop a conceptual STM
framework for upland grazing ecosystems, to quantify spatial dynamics of stable and degraded pastures, and to assess threshold
occurrence. Color aerial photography from Armboth Fell in the English Lake District National Park (United Kingdom) was

Water from the Amudarya River is a vital and strategic resource for semi-arid Uzbekistan because of its heavy reliance on
irrigated agriculture. The Uzbek water management regime, however, has proven to be rather reluctant to adapt to changing
environmental and socio-political conditions despite recent massive pressures caused by political, environmental, or
donor-induced developments in the region. The aim of this paper is to explore reasons for the low adaptability of the Uzbek
water sector and assess implications for the resilience of the Uzbek social-ecological system (SES). By analyzing past losses of
resilience as well as first attempts at institutional change in land and water management, we identify drivers as well as structural
factors and...

Mechanisms of Resilience in Common-pool Resource Management Systems: an Agent-based Model of
Water Use in a River Basin
Provedor de dados: 7
The concept of resilience is widely promoted as a promising notion to guide new approaches to ecosystem and resource
management that try to enhance a system's capacity to cope with change. A variety of mechanisms of resilience specific for
different systems have been proposed. In the context of resource management those include but are not limited to the diversity of
response options and flexibility of the social system to adaptively respond to changes on an adequate scale. However,
implementation of resilience-based management in specific real-world systems has often proven difficult because of a limited
understanding of suitable interventions and their impact on the resilience of the coupled social-ecological system. We propose an
agent-based modeling...

Traditional ecological knowledge among transhumant pastoralists in Mediterranean Spain

Mobility is a millenary human strategy to deal with environmental change. An outstanding example of mobility is transhumance,
an ancient pastoralist practice consisting of the seasonal migration of livestock between ecological regions following peaks in
pasture productivity. The maintenance of transhumance depends partly on the preservation of related traditional ecological
knowledge (TEK). We (a) identified and characterized social groups that hold transhumance-related TEK, (b) analyzed trends in
transhumance-related TEK across generations and social groups, (c) examined the factors that influence variation in levels of
TEK, and (d) analyzed elements of transhumance-related TEK as examples of adaptive strategies to cope with global change. We

Patrimony for Resilience: Evidence from the Forest Agdal in the Moroccan High Atlas Mountains

Patrimony and resilience appear today as key concepts for understanding the dynamics of systems confronted with natural
hazards. Nevertheless, the theoretical comparison between these concepts drawn from different epistemic approaches is lacking.
Our aim is to interrelate resilience and patrimony concepts on the basis of a real example: the Agdal, a traditional forest
management system in the Moroccan High Atlas. The role played by the Agdal in safeguarding the patterns of forest resource use
by village communities from both external and internal conflicts, from natural hazards, and by securing a long-term supply of
resource diversity is highlighted. This role shows the patrimonial character of the forest Agdal for the village communities and
