Analysis of structural characteristics of social capital for increasing the resilience of social- ecological systems (Case study: Kalateh Rudbar, Semnan province)
Researchers studying on adaptation and resilience of systems mainly seek to reduce the vulnerability of extremely complex social-ecological systems against potential changes. Since major portion of natural resources of Iran is interrelated with various users and social groups. Present study focused upon the necessity of studying structural characteristics of social capital of rangeland users in...
متن کاملUse Of Agent Based Modeling To Simulate Complex Ecological Systems In Contexts With Poor Information; The Case Of The Winton Wetlands In Victoria, Australia
There have been numerous frameworks and approaches developed for the study of complex ecological systems. For the most part, these approaches require extensive amounts of information. The aim of this paper is use Agent-Based Models to simulate complex ecological systems and examine overarching trends, using the Winton Wetlands in Victoria, Australia as a case study. The study showed that even t...
متن کاملRole of Plant Species and Ecological Patches in Conserving and Fixing Natural Landsʹ Soil Using Landscape Functional Analysis (LFA) (Case Study: Dehbar Rangeland, Torghabeh, Mashhad, Iran)
Degradation of plant patches is considered as one of the indices for rangeland degrading health condition. Investigating the accuracy of triple indices (infiltration, stability and soil nutrient cycle) presented by LFA method seems necessary to determine its efficiency in semi-arid areas with the least cost. This study aims to investigate the role of vegetative species and growing forms on soil...
متن کاملFirst Step Toward Bridging Ecological and Socio-Economic Systems: Linking Thermodynamics, Complexity, and Sustainability
Challenges related to achieving sustainable social-ecological systems (SES) are transforming science and its role in society. Over the past few decades, integrated sciences such as sustainability science and complex systems science have emerged as fields of research and education, which transcend disciplinary boundaries and focus on understanding of the dynamics of complex SES. A social-ecologi...
متن کاملSocial-ecological systems as complex adaptive systems: modeling and policy implications
Systems linking people and nature, known as social-ecological systems, are increasingly understood as complex adaptive systems. Essential features of Environment and Development Economics 113 these complex adaptive systems – such as nonlinear feedbacks, strategic interactions, individual and spatial heterogeneity, and varying time scales – pose substantial challenges for modeling. However, igno...
متن کاملEcological Systems as Complex Systems: Challenges for an Emerging Science
Complex systems science has contributed to our understanding of ecology in important areas such as food webs, patch dynamics and population fluctuations. This has been achieved through the use of simple measures that can capture the difference between order and disorder and simple models with local interactions that can generate surprising behaviour at larger scales. However, close examination ...
