Kevin H. Rogers,Rebecca Luton,Harry Biggs,Reinette Biggs,Sonja Blignaut,Aiden G. Choles,Carolyn G. Palmer,Pius Tangwe +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present three broad frames of mind (openness, situational awareness, and a healthy respect for the restraint/action paradox), which each encompass a set of habits of mind, to create a useful framework that allows one to unlearn reductionist habits while adopting and embedding those more conducive to working in complex systems.

Complexity, Modeling, and Natural Resource Management
Paul Cilliers,Harry Biggs,Sonja Blignaut,Aiden G. Choles,Jan-Hendrik S. Hofmeyr,Graham Jewitt,Dirk J. Roux +6 more
TL;DR: This paper contends that natural resource management (NRM) issues are, by their very nature, complex and that both scientists and managers in this broad field will benefit from a theoretical understanding of complex systems.
