  • Actor-network analysis of partners facilitating regenerative ranching practices in the US Northern Great Plains

    Open AccessTimothy Pape, Gwendŵr R Meredith et al.ARTICLERangelands2025

    Regenerative agriculture has been offered as an ecologically thoughtful means of food production, yet questions remain regarding how individuals in rural communities transition toward regenerative practices. • We studied dynamics related to the transition from traditional ranching to regenerative ranching by employing actor-network analysis on 24 semistructured interviews from ranchers in the Northern Great Plains region of the United States, who…

  • Social networks and transformative behaviours in a grassland social‐ecological system

    Open AccessHolly K Nesbitt, Alexander L Metcalf et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Social connections among individuals are essential components of social‐ecological systems (SESs), enabling people to take actions to more effectively adapt or transform in response to widespread social‐ecological change. Although scholars have associated social connections and cognitions with adaptive capacity, measuring actors' social networks may further clarify pathways for bolstering resilience‐enhancing actions. We asked how social networks…

  • Understanding the values that inform regenerative ranching in the Northern U.S. Great Plains

    Open AccessTimothy Pape, Gwendŵr R Meredith et al.ARTICLEAgriculture and Human Values2024Citada por: 2Referencias: 3

    The effects of environmental degradation and climate change are propelling a discourse shift towards regenerative agriculture, yet understanding motivations for implementing regenerative practices on private agricultural lands is still a challenge. We study that challenge within the realm of regenerative ranching, a subcategory of regenerative agriculture. By examining the frequency of values articulated by respondents, a valuation typology stemm…

  • The emergence of convergence

    Open AccessShana Sundstrom, David G Angeler et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2023

    Science is increasingly a collaborative pursuit. Although the modern scientific enterprise owes much to individuals working at the core of their field, humanity is increasingly confronted by highly complex problems that require the integration of a variety of disciplinary and methodological expertise. In 2016, the U.S. National Science Foundation launched an initiative prioritizing support for convergence research as a means of “solving vexing re…

  • Identifying untapped legal capacity to promote multi-level and cross-sectoral coordination of natural resource governance

    Open AccessNicola Harvey, Ahjond S Garmestani et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2023Referencias: 15

    Natural resource governance in the face of climate change represents one of the seminal challenges of the Anthropocene. A number of innovative approaches have been developed in, among others, the fields of ecology, governance, and sustainability sciences for managing uncertainty and scarcity through a coordinated approach to natural resource governance. However, the absence of an enabling legal and regulatory framework has been identified in the …

  • A new adaptive cycle for Ecology and Society

    Open AccessCraig R Allen, Patricia Balvanera et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2022

    Editorial Ecology and Society was launched 25 years ago as a result of C.S. (Buzz) Holling’s vision for a new type of journal, one that was free to read, inexpensive to publish in, interdisciplinary, web-based, and encouraged novel thinking and grounded speculation. When Buzz eventually stepped down as Editor-in-Chief (EIC), Ecology and Society was able [...]

  • Iterative scenarios for social-ecological systems

    Open AccessDustin L Herrmann, Kirsten Schwarz et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2021

    Managing social-ecological systems toward desirable regimes requires learning about the system being managed while preparing for many possible futures. Adaptive management (AM) and scenario planning (SP) are two systems management approaches that separately use learning to reduce uncertainties and employ planning to manage irreducible uncertainties, respectively. However, each of these approaches have limitations that confound management of socia…

  • Panarchy and management of lake ecosystems

    Open AccessDavid G Angeler, Craig R Allen et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2021

    A key challenge of the Anthropocene is to confront the dynamic complexity of systems of people and nature to guide robust interventions and adaptations across spatiotemporal scales. Panarchy, a concept rooted in resilience theory, accounts for this complexity, having at its core multiscale organization, interconnectedness of scales, and dynamic system structure at each scale. Despite the increasing use of panarchy in sustainability research, quan…

  • Transition

  • Convergence science in the Anthropocene

    Open AccessDavid G Angeler, Craig R Allen et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2020

    Rapidly changing ecological and social systems currently pose significant societal challenges. Navigating the complexity of social‐ecological change requires approaches able to cope with, and potentially solve, both foreseen and unforeseen societal challenges. The emergent field of convergence addresses the intricacies of such challenges, and is thus relevant to a broad range of interdisciplinary issues. This paper suggests a way to conceptualize…

  • Adaptive Fuel Procurement in Nineteenth-Century Great Plains Landscapes

    Daniel R Uden, David J Wishart et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and History2019

    Harnessing energy for cooking, heating, eating, and travel is a fundamental human requirement and, prior to fossil fuel adoption, much energy was derived from local landscapes. In the North American Great Plains, the nineteenth century was a period of rapid social-ecological change, and adaptive fuel procurement was at its core. Here, we review nineteenth-century accounts of energy acquisition and use in Great Plains landscapes, documenting the u…

  • Ecosystem size predicts social-ecological dynamics

    Open AccessMark A Kaemingk, Christopher J Chizinski et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2019

    Recreational fisheries are complex adaptive systems that are inherently difficult to manage because of heterogeneous user groups (consumptive vs. nonconsumptive) that use patchily distributed resources on the landscape (lakes, rivers, coastlines). There is a need to identify which system components can effectively predict and be used to manage nonlinear and cross-scale dynamics within these systems. We examine how ecosystem size or water body siz…

  • Balancing stability and flexibility in adaptive governance

    Open AccessRobin Kundis Craig, Ahjond S Garmestani et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2017Citada por: 1

    Adaptive governance must work "on the ground," that is, it must operate through structures and procedures that the people it governs perceive to be legitimate and fair, as well as incorporating processes and substantive goals that are effective in allowing social-ecological systems (SESs) to adapt to climate change and other impacts. To address the continuing and accelerating alterations that climate change is bringing to SESs, adaptive governanc…

  • A quantitative framework for assessing ecological resilience

    Open AccessDidier L Baho, Craig R Allen et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2017Citada por: 3

    Quantitative approaches to measure and assess resilience are needed to bridge gaps between science, policy and management. In this paper, we revisit definitions of resilience and suggest a quantitative framework for assessing ecological resilience sensu Holling (1973). Ecological resilience as an emergent ecosystem phenomenon can be decomposed into complementary attributes (scales, adaptive capacity, thresholds and alternative regimes) that embra…

  • Regime shifts and panarchies in regional scale social-ecological water systems

    Open AccessLance Gunderson, Barbara A Cosens et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2017Citada por: 4

    In this article we summarize histories of nonlinear, complex interactions among societal, legal, and ecosystem dynamics in six North American water basins, as they respond to changing climate. These case studies were chosen to explore the conditions for emergence of adaptive governance in heavily regulated and developed social-ecological systems nested within a hierarchical governmental system. We summarize resilience assessments conducted in eac…

  • Transformative Environmental Governance

    Open AccessBrian C Chaffin, Ahjond S Garmestani et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Environment and…2016

    Transformative governance is an approach to environmental governance that has the capacity to respond to, manage, and trigger regime shifts in coupled social-ecological systems (SESs) at multiple scales. The goal of transformative governance is to actively shift degraded SESs to alternative, more desirable, or more functional regimes by altering the structures and processes that define the system. Transformative governance is rooted in ecological…
