Abstract Achieving sustainable development goals requires targeting and monitoring solutions tailored to different social ecological contexts. A social-ecological systems (SESs) framework was developed help diagnose problems, identify complex interactions, each SES. Here we develop a data-driven method for upscaling the SES apply it context where data is scarce, but also towards are needed. The purpose of create tool that facilitates decision-making in data-scarce We mapped by applying...
In a complex and turbulent world, there is heightened interest in managing for resilience.However, resilience guides, particularly those used the development field, often lack theoretical grounding adaptive systems.There demand guidance on how to operationalize complexity applications of resilience, such as assessment planning.This study synthesizes lessons from twelve cases social-ecological practice are engaging with complexity.We assessed each case engaged complexity, according framework...
Most current approaches to landscape scale ecosystem service assessments rely on detailed secondary data. This type of data is seldom available in regions with high levels poverty and strong local dependence provisioning services for livelihoods. We develop a method extrapolate results from previously published village assessment higher administrative level, relevant land use decision making. The combines remote sensing (using hybrid classification method) interviews community members....
Abstract The ecosystem service concept is recognized as a useful tool to support sustainability in decision-making. In this study, we collaborated with actors the Helge å catchment, southern Sweden, an iterative participatory assessment. Through workshops and interviews, jointly decided which services assess indicators use order achieve sense of ownership higher legitimacy Subsequently, explored landscape-level interactions between 15 assessed services, found that area can be described using...
Landscapes and their management are at the center of many sustainability challenges that we face. can be described as social-ecological systems shaped by a myriad human activities biophysical processes, interacting across space time. Managing them sustainably requires considering this complexity. Resilience thinking offers ways to address complexity in decision-making. In paper, analyse learning impact on diverse group local actors from participating participatory resilience assessment. The...
Addressing sustainability challenges in landscape management requires processes for co-producing usable knowledge together with those who will use that knowledge. Participatory futures methods are powerful tools attaining such The applications of diverse and understanding the intricacies co-production process is important to further develop these research practices. To improve participatory contribute systematic critical reflections on methodology, we present a comparative analysis four...
How do social-ecological systems change over time? In 2002 C. S. Holling and colleagues proposed the concept of panarchy, which presented as an interacting set adaptive cycles, each produced by dynamic tensions between novelty efficiency at multiple scales. Initially introduced a conceptual framework metaphors, panarchy has gained attention scholars across many disciplines, its ideas continue to inspire further developments. Almost 20 years after this was introduced, we reviewed how it been...

Abstract While sustainable development goals are by their nature global, achievement requires local action and thus targeting monitoring solutions tailored to different social ecological contexts. Ostrom stressed that there no panaceas or universal environmental problems, developed a social-ecological systems’ (SES) framework -a nested multi-tier set of variables- help diagnose identify complex interactions, each SES arena. The has been applied over hundred cases, typically reflecting...
