Disturbances, such as hurricanes, fires, droughts and pest outbreaks, can cause major changes in ecosystem conditions that threaten Nature's contributions to people (ecosystem services). Climate change is intensifying disturbances, posing risks to ec... -
Towards biocultural realism: Connecting conservation with historical ecology and common sense. A European perspective
Published on March 1, 2025
In this perspective, we present and discuss four major causes of the worldwide nature conservation failure: 1) ideologies based on nature-culture dualism, 2) the bias prioritising forests in conservation, 3) the illusory objectiveness of selected bio... -
Shifted baselines: Using the adaptive cycle to assess the post-tsunami mangrove social-ecological system recovery in the Nicobar Islands
Published on March 1, 2025
The 2004 tsunami and coastal subsidence resulted in 97% mangrove loss in the Nicobar Islands (India), leading to major social-ecological change. We assessed how the Nicobar mangrove social-ecological system (SES) responded to the 2004 event using the... -
A social-ecological approach to local forest conflict analysis and shaping
Published on March 1, 2025
Against the backdrop of the climate crisis, forest conflicts are intensifying in Germany. For this reason, it is time to reopen the scientific debate on how we research and manage forest conflicts. In this commentary, we argue that a social-ecologica... -
Contestations in the emerging soil-based carbon economy: towards a research agenda
Published on March 1, 2025
This paper highlights the need to consider the processes and relations in the political, knowledge, technical and socio-material complex that underpins the emergence of a soil-based carbon economy. This economy, characterised by the proliferation of ... -
Thinking with Amazonian Indigenous Peoples to expand ideas on domestication

Sandy beaches are important socio-ecological systems for human well-being and coastal stability. They are also economic and cultural assets; however, urbanization and human activities threaten their ecosystem services and biodiversity. Thus, it is im... -
The nexus between connectivity, climate, and land use: A scenario assessment of bio-energy landscape connectivity in central Italy
Published on March 1, 2025
The complex interplay between landscape connectivity, climate fluctuations, and land use transformations profoundly affects ecosystem health, functionality, and human well-being on a global scale. However, these interconnected issues are often not ad... -
Transdisciplinary pathways for wildlife conservation: A method for navigating socio-ecological systems on private lands
Published on March 1, 2025
The decline of wildlife on private land is accelerating around the world. Resulting efforts to conserve wildlife on private lands are characterised by a complex socio-ecological interplay between human practices and wildlife. Central to these socio-e... -
Coevolution and its influencing factors of the water resources-economy-society-environment composite system in the Yellow River basin
Published on March 1, 2025
Improving the coevolution level of the water resources-economy-society-environment (WESE) composite system is important for guaranteeing resource security, maintaining an ecological balance and realizing sustainable development. We constructed an ind... -
Achieving sustainability through reform propagation in weighted socio-ecological multiplex systems
Published on March 1, 2025
This research investigates how reforms propagate through weighted socio-ecological systems (SES) multiplex networks. These networks represent multiple interconnected layers of economic, social, and ecological interactions, with each connection indica... -
