Exploring social preferences for ecosystem services of multifunctional agriculture across policy scenarios
Published on October 1, 2019
Multifunctional agroecosystems are the result of complex adaptive interactions between humans and nature where trade-offs between food production and other ecosystem services are key. Our objective is to explore the social preferences for ecosystem s... -
Evaluating transdisciplinary science to open research-implementation spaces in European social-ecological systems
Published on October 1, 2019
Researchers in multiple, related fields that address complex social and environmental challenges, have shown ongoing enthusiasm for applying transdisciplinary social-ecological systems (SES) research to promote sustainability. However, few studies ha... -
Framing management of social-ecological systems in terms of the cost of failure: the Sierra Nevada, USA as a case study
Published on October 1, 2019
Managing complex social-ecological systems in an era of rapid climate change and changing human pressures represents a major challenge in sustainability science. The Sierra Nevada, USA is a large social-ecological system facing a tipping point that c... -
An adapted concept mapping technique to help conservation implementation - Exemplified for wolves returning to Lower Saxony in Germany
Published on October 1, 2019
While higher-order predators like wolves (canis lupus) serve important ecological roles within social-ecological systems, prior studies indicated differences in the acknowledgement of these roles by specific stakeholder groups. As diverging underlyin... -
A Systemic-Relational Ethical Framework for Aquatic Ecosystem Health Research and Management in Social-Ecological Systems
Published on October 1, 2019
This paper argues that if the goal of slowing global ecological degradation, and of sustained improvement in aquatic ecosystem health is to be achieved, then a departure is required from the traditional, discipline-focused approach to aquatic ecosyst... -
Alignment of social and ecological structures increased the ability of river management
Published on September 30, 2019
Large hydrologic basins involve multiple stakeholders, and coupled dynamic social and ecological processes. Managing such basins has long been a challenge. Balancing the demand for water from nature against that from humans is always difficult, parti... -
Deciphering key processes controlling rainfall isotopic variability during extreme tropical cyclones
Published on September 20, 2019
The Mesoamerican and Caribbean (MAC) region is characterized by tropical cyclones (TCs), strong El Nino-Southern Oscillation events, and climate variability that bring unique hazards to socio-ecological systems. Here we report the first characterizat... -
Characteristics of bioeconomy systems and sustainability issues at the territorial scale. A review
Published on September 20, 2019
The bioeconomy is expected to be a key solution to supply societies with food and non-food products while replacing non-renewable resources and preserving natural ones. Sustainability of bioeconomy systems is currently an issue that has to be address... -
A Synthesis Of Opportunities For Applying The Telecoupling Framework To Marine Protected Areas
Published on September 19, 2019
The world's oceans face unprecedented anthropogenic threats in the globalized era that originate from all over the world, including climate change, global trade and transportation, and pollution. Marine protected areas (MPAs) serve important roles in... -
Traditional Ecological Knowledge Supports Ecosystem-Based Management in Disturbed Coastal Marine Social-Ecological Systems
Published on September 19, 2019
A growing number of studies suggest a participatory ecosystem approach to support decision-making toward resilience and sustainability in social-ecological systems. Social-ecological resilience (SER) principles and practices are recommended to manage... -
Rainforest conservation in Mexico's lowland Maya area: Integrating local meanings of conservation and land-use dynamics
Published on September 15, 2019
In several tropical forested areas in which biodiversity conservation and indigenous cultures are interwoven, current conservation policies do not consider how the indigenous communities understand the concept of conservation that is promoted and imp... -
New Tools And Connections For Exponential-time Approximation
Published on September 11, 2019
In this paper, we develop new tools and connections for exponential time approximation. In this setting, we are given a problem instance and an integer r grater than 1… -
An Improved Fptas For 0-1 Knapsack Arxiv
Published on September 6, 2019
The 0-1 knapsack problem is an important NP-hard problem that admits fully polynomial-time approximation schemes (FPTASs). Previously the fastest FPTAS by Chan (2018) with approximation factor 1 + epsilon runs in O(n + (1/epsilon)12/5) time, where O ... -
Who determines the trade-offs between agricultural production and environmental quality? An evolutionary perspective from rural eastern China
Published on September 3, 2019
We explore the evolutionary nature of interactions between government policy, farm decision-making and ecosystem services in Shucheng County, Anhui Province, 1950-2015. Analyses of ecological, social and economic trends are complemented by interviews... -
Dynamic mass transfer of textiles in rotational motions
Published on September 2, 2019
Purpose The mass transfer of textiles during movement is complicated as the energy consumption (EC) from skin, surface temperature of fabrics together with environment will work synergistically to determine the sensation and comfort of wearer. The pu... -
Biomimetic economy: human ecological-economic systems emulating natural ecological systems
Published on September 2, 2019
