Lindahl, T., Ö. Bodin, M. Tengö. 2015. Governing complex commons: The role of communication for experimental learning and coordinated management. Ecological Economics 111: 111–120.
In this paper, we build on common-pool research and adaptive management to increase our understanding on if and how communication between resource users affects their joint ability to learn about and manage complex ecological resources. More specifically we study the role of user communication in relation to learning through continual experimentation when managing a complex resource system involving resource interdependencies....
Lidström, S., S. West, T. Katzschner, M.I. Pérez-Ramos, H. Twidle. 2015. Invasive narratives and the inverse of slow violence: Alien species in science and society. Environmental Humanities 7: 1-40.
Environmental narratives have become an increasingly important area of study in the environmental humanities. Rob Nixon has drawn attention to the difficulties of representing the complex processes of environmental change that inflict ‘slow violence’ on vulnerable human (and non-human) populations. Nixon argues that a lack of “arresting stories, images and symbols” reduces the visibility of gradual problems such as biodivers...
Li, C., H. Zheng, S. Li, X. Chen, J. Li, W. Zeng, Y. Liang, S. Polasky, M.W. Feldman, M. Ruckelshaus, Z. Ouyang, G.C. Daily. 2015. Impacts of conservation and human development policy across stakeholders and scales. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA 112: 7396–7401.
Ideally, both ecosystem service and human development policies should improve human well-being through the conservation of ecosystems that provide valuable services. However, program costs and benefits to multiple stakeholders, and how they change through time, are rarely carefully analyzed. We examine one of China’s new ecosystem service protection and human development policies: the Relocation and Settlement Program of Sou...
Leenhardt, P., L. Teneva, S. Kininmonth, E. Darling, S. Cooley, J. Claudet. 2015. Challenges, insights and perspectives associated with using social-ecological science for marine conservation. Ocean and Coastal Management 115: 49–60.
Here, we synthesize conceptual frameworks, applied modeling approaches, and as case studies to highlight complex social-ecological system (SES) dynamics that inform environmental policy, conservation and management. Although a set of “good practices” about what constitutes a good SES study are emerging, there is still a disconnection between generating SES scientific studies and providing decision-relevant information to polic...
Langemeyer, J., F. Baró, P. Roebeling, E. Gómez-Baggethun. 2015. Contrasting values of cultural ecosystem services in urban areas: The case of park Montjuïc in Barcelona. Ecosystem Services 12: 178–186.
Urban green infrastructure attracts growing attention for its potential as a nature-based strategy to improve quality of life through the provision of ecosystem services. In this paper, we value cultural ecosystem services in relation to land-uses and management regimes of urban green infrastructure. Through a survey among 198 beneficiaries of the largest urban park in Barcelona, Spain, we assessed cultural ecosystem service...
Lange, S., J.F. Donges, J. Volkholz, J. Kurths. 2015. Local difference measures between complex networks for dynamical system model evaluation. PLoS ONE 10(4): e0118088
A faithful modeling of real-world dynamical systems necessitates model evaluation. A recent promising methodological approach to this problem has been based on complex networks, which in turn have proven useful for the characterization of dynamical systems. In this context, we introduce three local network difference measures and demonstrate their capabilities in the field of climate modeling, where these measures facilitate a...
Lade, S.J., M. Coelho, I.M. Tolić, T. Gross. 2015. Fusion leads to effective segregation of damage during cell division: An analytical treatment. Journal of Theoretical Biology 378: 47–55.
High levels of cellular damage are associated with impairment of cellular function and cell death. Partitioning the damage into a fraction of cells in the population improves population fitness and survival. We have previously shown that protein aggregates, resulting from misfolded, damaged proteins, fuse with each other leading to damage partitioning during cell division. Here, using an analytical treatment of aggregate fus...
Kremer, P., E. Andersson, T. McPhearson, T. Elmqvist. 2015. Advancing the frontier of urban ecosystem services research. Ecosystem Services 12: 149–151.
This special section in Ecosystem Services presents multiple approaches to better incorporate societal dimensions in urban ecosystem services research. It explores: (1) How the ecosystem services approach might be expanded and provide important bridges to achieve urban sustainability and resilience (2) Specifically how cultural ecosystem services in urban areas may represent a key to valuation, improvement and preservation ...
Krause, G., C. Brugere, A. Diedrich, M.W. Ebeling, S.C.A. Ferse, E. Mikkelsen, J.A. Pérez Agúndez, S.M. Stead, N. Stybel, M. Troell. 2015. A revolution without people? Closing the people-policy gap in aquaculture development. Aquaculture 447: 44–55.
Failure of the blue revolution is a global risk. The international problem is that there is a gap in knowledge exchange between the aquaculture industry, policy makers trying to support aquaculture development and people who depend on aquaculture for a job and/or food source. Thus, governments and international organizations promoting aquaculture as the solution to improving food security, nutrition and income are failing to o...
Marín, A., Bodin, Ö., Gelcich, S., & Crona, B. (2015). Social capital in post-disaster recovery trajectories: Insights from a longitudinal study of tsunami-impacted small-scale fisher organizations in Chile. Global Environmental Change, 35, 450-462
Increased likelihood and severity of coastal disasters in the 21st century represent major threats for coastal communities’ resource management capacity and livelihoods. Disaster research has frequently looked for singular factors explaining why some communities are more resilient and better equipped to cope with and recover from disasters. This study draws on Chile’s 2010 tsunami to evaluate the effects of both internal (soc...
