DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23426
Abstract: Dispersal between social groups reduces the risk of inbreeding and can improve individuals' reproductive opportunities. However, this movement has costs, such as increased risk of predation and starvation, loss of allies and kin support, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4340
Abstract: Abstract Afforestation is often viewed as the purposeful planting of trees in historically nonforested grasslands, but an unintended consequence is woody encroachment, which should be considered part of the afforestation process. In North America's temperate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00267-020-01320-6
Abstract: Public Natural Resource Management (NRM) agencies operate in complex social-ecological domains. These complexities proliferate unpredictably therefore investigating and supporting the ability of public agencies to respond effectively is increasingly important. However, understanding how public NRM… read more here.

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.

Community-led reforestation: cultivating the potential of virtuous cycles to confer resilience in disaster disrupted social–ecological systems
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! 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.
