Sustainability has become both an increasingly prominent societal project and a central object of study. At the same time, the concept's purview has grown to encompass not only issues that bear directly on humanity's ability to endure, but an increas... -
Key players in conservation diffusion: Using social network analysis to identify critical injection points
Published on June 1, 2017
Identifying the right stakeholders to engage with is fundamental to ensuring conservation information and initiatives diffuse through target populations. Yet this process can be challenging, particularly as practitioners and policy makers grapple wit... -
To address the Anthropocene, engage the liberal arts
Published on June 1, 2017
With the announcement by the Working Group on the Anthropocene at the 35th International Geological Congress in August 2016, we may see the formalization of the Anthropocene as a geological epoch. Since the idea of a human-dominated geological epoch ... -
Cultural landscapes and behavioral transformations: An agent-based model for the simulation and discussion of alternative landscape futures in East Lesvos, Greece
Published on June 1, 2017
Agricultural intensification and abandonment have been identified as two of the more prominent and polarizing drivers of landscape change in Europe. These transitions may induce deterioration in landscape functioning and character, particularly in cu... -

Published on June 1, 2017
Study region: This study explores the connectivity of upland farmers and downstream fishers through interlinkages of water, energy and food within the Dampalit sub-watershed of Laguna Lake, Philippines.Study focus: The aim of the study is to yield po... -
Uruguayan fisheries under an increasingly globalized scenario: Long-term landings and bioeconomic trends
Published on June 1, 2017
The systematic dwindling over time of many commercially important fish stocks in developed countries and the increasing demand of international markets provided a window of opportunity for fishery sector development in many developing countries. Scie... -
How Do Multi-criteria Assessments Address Landscape-level Problems? A Review of Studies and Practices
Published on June 1, 2017
Viewing the landscape as a spatialized social-ecological system allows identification of specific management challenges: integration of multiple views, multiple levels of organization, complex spatial-temporal patterns and uncertainties. Multi-criter... -
Maintaining cooperation in social-ecological systems: Effective bottom-up management often requires sub-optimal resource use
Published on June 1, 2017
Natural resources are vulnerable to over-exploitation in the absence of effective management. However, norms, enforced by social ostracism, can promote cooperation and increase stock biomass in common-pool resource systems. Unfortunately, the long-te... -
On The Role Of Individuals In Models Of Coupled Human And Natural Systems: Lessons From A Case Study In The Republican River Basin
Published on May 31, 2017
In models of coupled human and natural systems (CHANS), the role of individuals and human behavior is often overlooked as data are scarce and assumptions hard to verify. To assess this role, we couple an agent-based model simulating farmers' behavior... -
Wireless Power Transmitter And Receiver Supporting 200-khz And 6.78-mhz Dual-band Operation Without Magnetic Field Canceling
Published on May 24, 2017
The paper proposes a method to suppress the anticurrent and magnetic canceling in a dual-band transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) for wireless power transfer. The problem of intracoupling between the two coils in a dual-band resonator is analyzed. Dur... -
Evaluating the influence of information and communications technology on food security
Published on May 17, 2017
Background: This study integrates the diffusion of innovation, technology acceptance model and Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory to assess the role that information and communications technology (ICT) plays in ensuring food security. A survey of ... -
Uncovering The Spatially Distant Feedback Loops Of Global Trade: A Network And Input-output Approach
Published on May 15, 2017
Land-use change is increasingly driven by global trade. The term telecoupling has been gaining ground as a means to describe how human actions in one part of the world can have spatially distant impacts on land and land-use in another. These interact... -
Strategies for sustainable management of renewable resources during environmental change
Published on May 3, 2017
As a consequence of global environmental change, management strategies that can deal with unexpected change in resource dynamics are becoming increasingly important. In this paper we undertake a novel approach to studying resource growth problems ... -
Micro-level explanations for emergent patterns of self-governance arrangements in small-scale fisheries—A modeling approach
Published on May 3, 2017
Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) in developing countries are expected to play a significant role in poverty alleviation and enhancing food security in the decades to come. To realize this expectation, a better understanding of their informal self-gove... -
Safeguards for enhancing ecological compensation in Sweden
Published on May 1, 2017
Ecological compensation (EC) is being explored as a policy instrument for the European Union's 'No Net Loss of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services' initiative. EC is commonly associated with the Polluter-Pays Principle, but we propose the Developer-P... -
Fisheries regulatory regimes and resilience to climate change
Published on May 1, 2017
Climate change is already producing ecological, social, and economic impacts on fisheries, and these effects are expected to increase in frequency and magnitude in the future. Fisheries governance and regulations can alter socio-ecological resilience... -
Conservation of Brazilian coral reefs in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean: a change of approach
Published on May 1, 2017
Brazil has the most extensive and richest areas of coral reefs in the South Atlantic Ocean, with its fauna characterized by high endemism and adaptations related to its growth and morphology, to its coral building fauna and to the depositional enviro... -
A case study from the southern Cape linefishery 2: Considering one's options when the fish leave
Published on May 1, 2017
Fishers in the small-scale, commercial linefishery in the southern Cape, South Africa, are exposed to variability and change in the marine social-ecological system of which they are a part. Faced with multi-scalar changes within this complex system, ...
