Partial observability and management of ecological systems

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9197

Abstract: Abstract The actual state of ecological systems is rarely known with certainty, but management actions must often be taken regardless of imperfect measurement (partial observability). Because of the difficulties in accounting for partial observability, it… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Regional Environmental Change"

DOI: 10.1007/s10113-020-01692-9

Abstract: Social-ecological systems (SES) are nested, multilevel systems in which ecological and social elements interoperate through regular bidirectional interactions and feedback loops (Gunderson and Holling 2002; Holling 2001; Folke 2006). They are characterised by complex and… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Regional Environmental Change"

DOI: 10.1007/s10113-023-02177-1

Abstract: Mountains are social-ecological systems exposed to multiple climatic and socioeconomic drivers. The Pyrenees are a clear example of the concomitant challenges that these regions face, as they are exposed to stressors linked to depopulation, an… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Human Ecology"

DOI: 10.1007/s10745-025-00574-0

Abstract: Desertification poses significant environmental and socio-economic threats to pastoral systems within the drylands of sub-Saharan Africa. However, there remains a paucity of interdisciplinary studies delving into the anthropogenic drivers of desertification at the local level… read more here.

Community-led reforestation: cultivating the potential of virtuous cycles to confer resilience in disaster disrupted social–ecological systems

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Sustainability Science"

DOI: 10.1007/s11625-017-0506-5

Abstract: Human relationships with trees can result in widespread citizen-led reforestation projects that catalyze social–biological-reinforcing feedback loops and set in motion virtuous cycles that restore perturbed social–ecological systems. These virtuous cycles confer resilience in such systems… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.05.009

Abstract: Abstract Adaptive management has a long history in ecology and conservation. Uncertainty in both the state of a system and the model defining its dynamics are fundamental challenges in adaptive management of complex ecological systems.… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biological Conservation"

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.108298

Abstract: Abstract Multi-scale social-ecological systems (SES) approaches to conservation and commons management are needed to address the complex challenges of the Anthropocene. Although SES approaches to monitoring and evaluation are advocated in global science and policy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2016.10.010

Abstract: Collaborative Forest Management (CFM) of local forest users and governments promoted to achieve sustainable forest Social-Ecological Systems (SESs) by consolidating strengths of these actors. Although much of the writings on CFM acknowledge its potential to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2018.04.200

Abstract: Abstract The aspiration to establish an effective dialogue between science and society has inspired some ground breaking examples of transdisciplinarity (TD). The core idea of TD is that different academic disciplines work jointly with practitioners… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Landscape and Urban Planning"

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2018.05.001

Abstract: Abstract Many of the most pressing threats to forests result from complex interactions between multiple stressors and require management on large spatial and temporal scales. For this reason, many ecosystem managers have begun to recognize… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-38961-5

Abstract: Many ecological systems are subject critical transitions, which are abrupt changes to contrasting states triggered by small changes in some key component of the system. Temporal early warning signals such as the variance of a… read more here.
