Modeling social-ecological interactions between humans and ecosystems to analyze their implications for sustainable management of systems (SES) has multiple challenges. When integrating social ecological dynamics, which are often studied separately, one deal with different modeling paradigms, levels analysis, temporal spatial scales data availabilities in the domains. A major challenge, instance, is linking emergent patterns from individual micro-level human decisions system level processes...
Significance Managing regime shifts is often associated with “turning back from the brink” assuming that once a system has transgressed tipping point, it moves unavoidably toward undesired state. We show shift rather slippery slope can be managed and even reversed when transient dynamics time lags in coupled social-ecological are taken into account. constructed an empirically based simulation model includes combined effect nonlinear ecological human adaptation. Delayed policy response slow...
In this paper we extend the use of a relational approach to simulation modelling, widely used knowledge practice in sustainability science. Among modellers, there is awareness that model results can only be interpreted view assumptions inform construction and analysis, but less systematic questioning those assumptions. Moreover, current methodological discussions tend focus on integrating social ecological dynamics or diverse knowledges data within model. Yet choices regarding types...
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are under a constant risk of being irreversibly damaged by human pressures that threaten their biodiversity, the sustainability ecosystem services (ESs), and well‐being. Despite implementation various environmental regulations, challenges safeguarding freshwater assets have so far not been tackled successfully. A promising way forward to stop loss biodiversity sustain freshwater‐based ESs is implementing ecosystem‐based management (EBM), an planning adaptive...
Abstract Ecological regime shifts from clear to turbid water states in shallow temperate lakes are quite well-investigated phenomena but critical time lags human interaction with the lake and restoration activities much less understood. This is a complex challenge for institutions who manage usually familiar non-linear dynamics, slow fast influences on quality how those social-ecological perspective. We extend well-known minimal model of enable simulations over short- long-term management...
Abstract Climate change effects are already being felt around the globe, and governance systems need to adapt this new reality foster greater resilience in social–ecological (SES). Anticipatory is a concept proposed for such purpose. However, its definition remains rather vague literature, as practical use decision makers. In paper, we contribute filling these two shortcomings. First, conducted systematic literature review of derived following main criteria: foresight, networked engagement,...
Sustainability challenges require the integration of diverse knowledge types for understanding and managing social-ecological systems. Participatory modelling includes active involvement stakeholders in design, development, use models addressing sustainability natural resource management challenges. has potential to support learning co-production knowledge, aid processes deliberations, decision-making, collective management, social learning.
