Schultz, L., A. Duit., and C. Folke. Participation, adaptive co-management and management performance in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. In press, World Development doi: 10.1016/j.worlddev.2010.09.014
Publication review Analyzing survey-responses from 146 Biosphere Reserves in 55 countries we investigate how stakeholder participation and adaptive co-management practices are linked to management performance. Effectiveness in conventional conservation was positively affected by participation of scientists, but negatively affected by participation of volunteers. Effectiveness in sustainable development goals was associated ...

Stoll-Kleemann S., A.C. de la Vega-Leinert, and L. Schultz. 2010. The role of community participation in the effectiveness of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve management: evidence and reflections from two parallel global surveys. Environmental Conservation 37:227–238
Publication review Biodiversity management has traditionally followed two contradictory approaches. One champions ecosystem protection through rigorous law enforcement and exclusion of humans. The other promotes community-based sustainable use of natural resources. Participatory conservation, a major paradigm shift, nowadays strongly guides the concept of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves (BRs). In this paper, the rationale for co...
Schultz, L., and Lundholm, C. 2010. Learning for resilience? Exploring learning opportunities in Biosphere Reserves. Environmental Education Research 16(5):645-663
Publication review The interdependence of society and nature, the inherent complexity of social-ecological systems, and the global deterioration of ecosystem services provide the rationale for a growing body of literature focusing on social-ecological resilience - the capacity to cope with, adapt to and shape change - for sustainable development. Processes of learning-by-doing and multiple-loop social learning across knowl...
Krasny, M., Lundholm, C., & Plummer, P. (2010). Environmental Education, Resilience, and Learning: Reflection and Moving Forward. End editorial. Special issue ‘Resilience in Social-Ecological Systems: the Role of Learning and Education’. Environmental Education Research 16 (5-6) 475-491
Publication review In a special issue of "Environmental Education Research", Cecilia Lundholm, senior research fellow Ryan Plummer and Marianne Krasny from Cornell University, discuss strategies on how education methods in sustainable development can better grasp the complexities of social-ecological systems. The special issue encourages educational institutions to embrace education that works across disciplinary boundaries....

Book chapter | 2009
Schultz, L., Fazey, I. (2009). Effective leadership for adaptive management. In Adaptive Environmental Management: A practical guide. C. Allan, G. Stankey G. (eds.). Springer Verlag, New York.
Publication review This chapter is about making it happen. Adaptive management, that is. How do you transform a conventional management regime into one of adaptive management? How do you make it safe and rewarding to fail? And how do you sustain the processes of adaptive management over time? More specifically, we focus on leadership types, leadership processes, leadership skills and characteristics that seem to help cataly...
Fazey I., Schultz, L. (2009). Adaptive people for adaptive management. In Adaptive Environmental Management: A Practitioner's Guide. C. Allan, G. Stankey G. (eds.). Springer Verlag, New York.
Publication review Adaptive management needs people within organizations that can learn flexibly and be adaptive. Unfortunately, people are not generally very good at changing thinking or understanding or translating such change into doing things differently. Insights into the sorts of characteristics that make people adaptive can be found in educational psychology, including work on how people improve performance and the pe...

Hahn, T., L. Schultz, C. Folke and P. Olsson. (2008). Social networks as sources of resilience in social-ecological systems. In: Norberg, J. and G. Cumming (eds.), Complexity theory for a Sustainable Future, Columbia University Press.
Publication review This chapter is part of a book published by Columbia University Press. The book includes nine chapters focusing on different aspects of complexity theory, and how it can be applied to interactions between ecosystems and society to solve some of today's most pressing environmental issues. Jon Norberg has co-edited the new book “Complexity Theory for a Sustainable Future" together with Associate Professor G...

Schultz, L., C. Folke and P. Olsson. 2007. Enhancing Ecosystem Management through Social-Ecological Inventories: Lessons from Kristianstads Vattenrike,Sweden. Environmental Conservation 34: 140-152.
Publication review Environmental policy increasingly emphasizes involvement of local users and land owners in ecosystem management, but conservation planning is still largely a bureaucratic-scientific endeavour of identifying biological values for protection. Neither biological inventories nor stakeholder analyses, that tend to focus on conflicting interests, capture human resources in the landscape or the social structures...
