  • Welcome home! Introducing SocSES: A Society for Inclusive and Impactful Social-Ecological Research

    Open Access•A De Vos, Allyson Quinlan et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2025

    Underpinned by systemic thinking, social-ecological systems (SES) research has emerged as a critical field for addressing the challenges of the Anthropocene, marked by a cross-scale focus, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, and a strong emphasis on place-based work. Thanks to the efforts of many networks and institutes, the field has advanced new theoretical and methodological approaches, fostered dedicated journals, and spurred educational…

  • Convergence research as transdisciplinary knowledge coproduction within cases of effective collaborative governance of social-ecological systems

    Open Access•Candice Carr Kelman, Jaishri Srinivasan et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2024

    Successful collaborative governance (CG) of social-ecological systems (SES) involves multiple stakeholders convening iteratively over the long term to reach a commonly held vision. This often involves building knowledge for social learning processes induced to come to collective decisions about managing complex systems in flux. Because of the complexity of any SES in the Anthropocene, this coproduced knowledge is frequently transdisciplinary, usi…

  • Going back to what really held us together: Re-adaptation as resilience in the Torres Strait Islands, Australia

    Open Access•Erin Bohensky, James R A Butler et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2024

    In the Torres Strait Islands (TSI), Indigenous Australian communities are negotiating the challenge of maintaining their identities and cultures in the face of rapid change. These identities and cultures are seen as vital to the region’s resilience, and yet to be resilient may mean making difficult choices about change, specifying which aspects need changing, under what conditions, and by and for whom. TSI communities have a long history of conce…

  • Learning from sticky variables in cross-case analyses of collaboration in social-ecological systems

    Open Access•Aireona Bonnie Raschke, Jessica Cockburn et al.•ARTICLE•Ecosystems and People•2023

    The importance of collaborative approaches to governing social-ecological systems (SES) towards more transformative outcomes is now widely acknowledged. Theoretical and meth- odological frameworks to enable such collaborations are being developed across a range of disciplines. Transdisciplinary approaches are emerging as a key enabler of potentially trans- formative collaborations in SES, particularly where these are characterized by ‘multiple mu…

  • Recovery or continued resuscitation? A clinical diagnosis of Colorado River sub-basin recovery programs

    Open Access•Jaishri Srinivasan, M Schoon•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2023

    With a particular emphasis on the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program (UCR-EFRP) and Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR-MSCP), we analyze, for each program, four system properties that contribute to resilience: system architecture, which includes (1) connectivity and distribution and (2) assemblage of system elements; and system dynamics, which includes (3) social and natural capital flows and (4) syste…

  • The programme on ecosystem change and society (Pecs) – a decade of deepening social-ecological research through a place-based focus

    Open Access•Albert V Norström, Bina Agarwal et al.•ARTICLE•Ecosystems and People•2022

    The Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) was established in 2011, and is now one of the major international social-ecological systems (SES) research networks. During this time, SES research has undergone a phase of rapid growth and has grown into an influential branch of sustainability science. In this Perspective, we argue that SES research has also deepened over the past decade, and helped to shed light on key dimensions of SES dyna…

  • ‘The ghost of environmental history’: Analysing the evolving governance of communal rangeland resources in Machubeni, South Africa

    Open Access•Menelisi Falayi, James Gambiza et al.•ARTICLE•People and Nature•2022

    The need to effectively govern and manage communal rangeland resources has become more important over the past two decades, given the extent of biodiversity loss caused by a myriad of drivers interacting at different scales. Using in‐depth interviews, participant observations and historical information from organisational records, we analysed the application of governance objectives between 1947 and 2017 and their corresponding rangeland conditio…

  • Advancing the scholarship and practice of stakeholder engagement in working landscapes: A co-produced research agenda

    Open Access•Weston M Eaton, Morey Burnham et al.•ARTICLE•Socio-Ecological Practice Research•2022

    Participatory approaches to science and decision making, including stakeholder engagement, are increasingly common for managing complex socio-ecological challenges in working landscapes. However, critical questions about stakeholder engagement in this space remain. These include normative, political, and ethical questions concerning who participates, who benefits and loses, what good can be accomplished, and for what, whom, and by who. First, opp…

  • Panarchy: Ripples of a Boundary Concept

    Open Access•Juan C Rocha, Juan Rocha et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2022•Cited by: 2

    How do social-ecological systems change over time? In 2002 C. S. Holling and colleagues proposed the concept of panarchy, which presented social-ecological systems as an interacting set of adaptive cycles, each produced by the dynamic tensions between novelty and efficiency at multiple scales. Initially introduced as a conceptual framework and set of metaphors, panarchy has gained the attention of scholars across many disciplines, and its ideas c…

  • Enabling regional collaborative governance for sustainable recreation on public lands: The Verde Front

    Anna J Bettis, Anna Bettis et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Environmental Planning…•2021

    Collaborative governance approaches have been shown to build trust, reduce conflicts and be more responsive than traditional land management strategies because they incorporate diverse perspectives in the decision-making process. Traditional top-down land management often proves inadequate to address landscape-scale problems that cross jurisdictional borders and to produce sustainable outcomes for affected stakeholders. Collaborative governance i…

  • On the frontiers of collaboration and conflict: How context influences the success of collaboration

    Open Access•M Schoon, Mollie Chapman et al.•ARTICLE•Ecosystems and People•2021

    The increasing scale and interconnection of many environmental challenges – from climate change to land use – has resulted in the need to collaborate across borders and boundaries of all types. Traditional centralized, top-down and sectoral approaches to governance of single-issue areas or species within social-ecological systems often have limited potential to alleviate issues that go beyond their jurisdiction. As a result, collaborative governa…

  • Understanding Disturbances and Responses in Social-Ecological Systems

    M Schoon, Michael L Schoon et al.•ARTICLE•Society & Natural Resources•2011•Cited by: 10•References: 3

    Current research in coupled social-ecological systems (SESs) often draws on theories of complex adaptive systems, resilience, and robustness. Many studies analyze the resilience, robustness, or vulnerability of these systems to disturbances and stressors, but do not connect their particular case with a general notion of what counts as a disturbance. This makes theoretical generalization of how outcomes are coproduced by disturbances and SESs diff…

As a result, the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances has declined rapidly, and it is expected that atmospheric ozone concentrations will return to their normal ranges toward the end of this century. This paper applies the social-ecological system framework and common-pool resource the…

  • Keeping the ‘Great’ in the Great Barrier Reef: Large-scale governance of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park

    Open Access•Louisa Evans, Louisa S Evans et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of the…•2014•Cited by: 1

    As part of an international collaboration to compare large-scale commons, we used the Social-Ecological Systems Meta-Analysis Database (SESMAD) to systematically map out attributes of and changes in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP) in Australia. We focus on eight design principles from common-pool resource (CPR) theory and other key social-ecological systems governance variables, and explore to what extent they help explain the social a…

    Open Access•M Schoon, Sander Van Der Leeuw•ARTICLE•Natures Sciences Sociétés•2015

    This study examines how social and natural scientists converged on a new ontological approach to science. Three distinguishing features comprise this new approach. They include: (1) an integration of the social and ecological into a fully coupled social-ecological systems perspective, (2) a holistic view of scientific phenomena requiring a transdisciplinary approach to its study, and (3) the refutation of a purely equilibrium-based understanding …

  • Institutions and government efficiency: Decentralized irrigation management in China

    Open Access•Ying Chai, M Schoon•ARTICLE•International Journal of the…•2016•Cited by: 2•References: 4

    In order to improve the efficiency of government spending, it is necessary for the decentralized irrigation management to gain support from local institutions. Efficient institutions take on several distinct configurations in different irrigation districts. In this research, we upgrade Tang’s (1992) framework focusing on incentives, to a framework that includes institutional incentives and coordination. Within the framework, we then classify 5 in…
