Da, C.T., L.H. Phuoc, H.N. Duc, M. Troell, H. Berg. 2015. Use of wastewater from striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) pond culture for integrated rice–fish–vegetable farming systems in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems 39: 580–597
This article investigates the feasibility of reusing wastewater from striped catfish ( Pangasianodon hypophthalmus ) pond culture as nutrient input for integrated rice–Nile tilapia–green bean farming systems, and to what extent this could contribute to decreasing the environmental impacts on water quality from the striped catfish industry in the Mekong Delta. Four treatments in triplicates were used to investigate the growt...
Daw, T.M., S. Coulthard, W.W.L. Cheung, K. Brown, C. Abunge, D. Galafassi, G.D. Peterson, T.R. McClanahan, J.O. Omukoto, L. Munyi. 2015. Evaluating taboo trade-offs in ecosystems services and human well-being. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA 112: 6949–6954
Managing ecosystems for multiple ecosystem services and balancing the well-being of diverse stakeholders involves different kinds of trade-offs. Often trade-offs involve noneconomic and difficult-toevaluate values, such as cultural identity, employment, the wellbeing of poor people, or particular species or ecosystem structures. Although trade-offs need to be considered for successful environmental management, they are often o...
de Bruin, A., R. Pateman, J. Barron, M. Balima, I. Ouedraogo, E. Da Dapola, M. Fosu, F.O. Annor, M. Magombeyi, J.-M. Kileshye Onema. 2015. Setting up agricultural water management interventions: Learning from successful case studies in the Volta and Limpopo river basins. Water Resources and Rural Development 6: 12–23.
Long-term investments in agricultural water management (AWM) interventions in the Volta and Limpopo river basins have aimed at improving water availability and quality for smallholder farming systems. However, sustained and wider uptake of AWM technologies and approaches has not been as successful. We need to learn from successful AWM interventions, those interventions that have led to a sustained or increased uptake of AWM ...
Andersson, E., M. Tengö, T. McPhearson, P. Kremer. 2015. Cultural ecosystem services as a gateway for improving urban sustainability. Ecosystem Services 12: 165–168.
Quality of life in cities depends, among other things, on ecosystem services (ES) generated locally within the cities by multifunctional blue and green infrastructure. Successfully protecting green infrastructure in locations also attractive for urban development requires deliberate processes of planning and policy formulation as well as broad public support. We propose that cultural ecosystem services (CES) may serve as a u...

Biggs, R., M. Schlüter, M.L. Schoon (Eds.). 2015. Principles for building resilience: Sustaining ecosystem services in social-ecological systems. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.
As both the societies and the world in which we live face increasingly rapid and turbulent changes, the concept of resilience has become an active and important research area. Reflecting the very latest research, this book provides a critical review of the ways in which resilience of social-ecological systems, and the ecosystem services they provide, can be enhanced. With contributions from leaders in the field, the chapters...
Crona, B.I., T. Van Holt, M. Petersson, T.M. Daw, E. Buchary. 2015. Using social-ecological syndromes to understand impacts of international seafood trade on small-scale fisheries. Global Environmental Change 35: 162–175.
Globalization has increased the speed and flow of people, information, and commodities across space, integrating markets and increasing interdependence of geographically dispersed places worldwide. Places historically driven by largely local forces and market demands are now increasingly affected by drivers at multiple scales. Trade is particularly important in driving these changes and more fish is now exported to internation...
Boonstra, W.J., T.T.H. Hanh. 2015. Adaptation to climate change as social-ecological trap: A case study of fishing and aquaculture in the Tam Giang Lagoon, Vietnam. Environment Development and Sustainability 17(6): 1527–1544.
The ways in which people respond to climate change are frequently analyzed and explained with the term "adaptation". Conventionally, adaptation is understood as adjustments in behavior either to mitigate harm or to exploit opportunities emerging from climate change. The idea features prominently in scientific analyses as well as in policy programs. Despite its growing popularity over the years, the concept has also rece...
Quinlan, A. E., Berbés-Blázquez, M., Haider, L. J., Peterson, G. D. 2015. Measuring and assessing resilience: broadening understanding through multiple disciplinary perspectives. Journal of Applied Ecology. doi: 10.1111/1365-2664.12550
Increased interest in managing resilience has led to efforts to develop standardized tools for assessments and quantitative measures. Resilience, however, as a property of complex adaptive systems, does not lend itself easily to measurement. Whereas assessment approaches tend to focus on deepening understanding of system dynamics, resilience measurement aims to capture and quantify resilience in a rigorous and repeatable way...
Fetzer, I., K. Johst, R. Schawea, T. Banitz, H. Harms, A. Chatzinotas. 2015. The extent of functional redundancy changes as species’ roles shift in different environments. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA 112: 14888–14893
Assessing the ecological impacts of environmental change requires knowledge of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The exact nature of this relationship can differ considerably between ecosystems, with consequences for the efficacy of species diversity as a buffer against environmental change. Using a microbial model system, we show that the relationship can vary depending on environmental conditio...
Hamann, M., R. Biggs, B. Reyers. 2015. Mapping social-ecological systems: Identifying ‘green-loop’ and ‘red-loop’ dynamics based on characteristic bundles of ecosystem service use. Global Environmental Change 34: 218–226
We present an approach to identify and map social–ecological systems based on the direct use of ecosystem services by households. This approach builds on the premise that characteristic bundles of ecosystem service use represent integrated expressions of different underlying social–ecological systems. We test the approach in South Africa using national census data on the direct use of six provisioning services (freshwater fr...
