Panarchy: Understanding Transformations in Human and Natural Systems
Lance Gunderson,C. S. Holling +1 more
TL;DR: The authors examines theories (models) of how systems (those of humans, nature, and combined humannatural systems) function, and attempts to understand those theories and how they can help researchers develop effective institutions and policies for environmental management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regime Shifts, Resilience, and Biodiversity in Ecosystem Management
Carl Folke,S. R. Carpenter,Brian Walker,Marten Scheffer,Thomas Elmqvist,Lance Gunderson,C. S. Holling +6 more
TL;DR: Active adaptive management and governance of resilience will be required to sustain desired ecosystem states and transform degraded ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resilience and sustainable development: building adaptive capacity in a world of transformations
TL;DR: The concept of resilience—the capacity to buffer change, learn and develop—is used as a framework for understanding how to sustain and enhance adaptive capacity in a complex world of rapid transformations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Resilience—In Theory and Application
TL;DR: In this article, a new term adaptive capacity is introduced to describe the processes that modify ecological resilience, and two definitions recognize the presence of multiple stable states (or stability domains), and hence resilience is the property that mediates transition among these states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Barriers and bridges to the renewal of ecosystems and institutions
TL;DR: In this article, a series of case studies is used to test an emerging theory of complex adaptive systems that forms the basis for explaining the interrelated dynamics of ecosystems, institutions and society.
