Embedding farmers’ groundwater use in the context of their livelihoods: Farmers’ perspectives on social-ecological stressors, causes, and solutions
Seyyed Mahmoud Hashemi, Ann P Kinzig et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the agriculture and water sectors requires actors (e.g. farmers, water authorities, scientists) to consider the sustainability of both human and water elements. With a focus on farmers, using a behavioral approach, we explore how the groundwater system, which consists of human and water elements, is seen by pistachio growers in Rafsanjan, Iran (a major pistachio-production region in the world). We ad…

A Landscape Perspective on Climate-Driven Risks to Food Security: Exploring the Relationship between Climate and Social Transformation in the Prehispanic U.S. Southwest
Open AccessColleen Strawhacker, Grant Snitker et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2020Cited by: 3References: 27
Spatially and temporally unpredictable rainfall patterns presented food production challenges to small-scale agricultural communities, requiring multiple risk-mitigating strategies to increase food security. Although site-based investigations of the relationship between climate and agricultural production offer insights into how individual communities may have created long-term adaptations to manage risk, the inherent spatial variability of clima…

Archaeological data and research results are essential to addressing such fundamental questions as the origins of human culture; the origin, waxing, and waning of civilizations and cities; the response of societies to long-term climate changes; and the systemic relationships implicated in human-induced changes in the environment. However, we lack the capacity for acquiring, managing, analyzing, and synthesizing the data sets needed to address imp…

Merging Economics and Epidemiology to Improve the Prediction and Management of Infectious Disease
Open AccessCharles Perrings, Carlos Castillo‐Chavez et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2014
Mathematical epidemiology, one of the oldest and richest areas in mathematical biology, has significantly enhanced our understanding of how pathogens emerge, evolve, and spread. Classical epidemiological models, the standard for predicting and managing the spread of infectious disease, assume that contacts between susceptible and infectious individuals depend on their relative frequency in the population. The behavioral factors that underpin cont…

Social Norms and Global Environmental Challenges: The Complex Interaction of Behaviors, Values, and Policy
Ann P Kinzig, P R Ehrlich et al.ARTICLEBioScience2013
Government policies are needed when people's behaviors fail to deliver the public good. Those policies will be most effective if they can stimulate long-term changes in beliefs and norms, creating and reinforcing the behaviors needed to solidify and extend the public good.It is often the short-term acceptability of potential policies, rather than their longer-term efficacy, that determines their scope and deployment. The policy process should con…

Change is inevitable, but some changes and transformations are more dramatic and fraught with suffering than others. Resilience theory suggests the concept of a “rigidity trap” as an explanation for these differences. In rigidity traps, a high degree of connectivity and the suppression of innovation prolong an increasingly rigid state, with the result that the eventual transformation is harsh.

Global Biodiversity Scenarios for the Year 2100

Scenarios of changes in biodiversity for the year 2100 can now be developed based on scenarios of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate, vegetation, and land use and the known sensitivity of biodiversity to these changes. This study identified a ranking of the importance of drivers of change, a ranking of the biomes with respect to expected changes, and the major sources of uncertainties. For terrestrial ecosystems, land-use change proba…
Socioeconomics drive urban plant diversity
Open AccessDiane Hope, Corinna Gries et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2003
Spatial variation in plant diversity has been attributed to heterogeneity in resource availability for many ecosystems. However, urbanization has resulted in entire landscapes that are now occupied by plant communities wholly created by humans, in which diversity may reflect social, economic, and cultural influences in addition to those recognized by traditional ecological theory. Here we use data from a probability-based survey to explore the va…
Resilience of Past Landscapes: Resilience Theory, Society, and the Longue Durée
