Governance and the Capacity to Manage Resilience in Regional Social-Ecological Systems
Louis Lebel,John M. Anderies,Bruce M. Campbell,Carl Folke,Steve Hatfield-Dodds,Terry P. Hughes,James R. Wilson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw on the insights from a diverse set of case studies from around the world in which members of the Resilience Alliance have observed or engaged with sustainability problems at regional scales.

Managing ecosystem services: what do we need to know about their ecology?
TL;DR: This research agenda discusses critical questions and key approaches in determining the various aspects of community structure that influence function in real landscapes, especially compensatory community responses that stabilize function, or non-random extinction sequences that rapidly erode it.
PERSPECTIVES Managing ecosystem services: what do we need to know about their ecology?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss critical questions and key approaches in four areas: identifying the important ecosystem service providers; determining the various aspects of community structure that influence function in real landscapes, especially compensatory community responses that stabilize function, or non-random extinction sequences that rapidly erode it; assessing key environmental factors influencing provision of services, and measuring the spatio-temporal scale over which providers and services operate.

Ten principles for a landscape approach to reconciling agriculture, conservation, and other competing land uses
Jeffrey Sayer,Terry Sunderland,Jaboury Ghazoul,Jean-Laurent Pfund,Douglas Sheil,Douglas Sheil,Douglas Sheil,Erik Meijaard,Erik Meijaard,Michelle Venter,Agni Klintuni Boedhihartono,Michael Day,Claude Garcia,Claude Garcia,Cora van Oosten,Louise E. Buck +15 more
TL;DR: It is found the landscape approach has been refined in response to increasing societal concerns about environment and development tradeoffs and there has been a shift from conservation-orientated perspectives toward increasing integration of poverty alleviation goals.

Hard choices: Making trade-offs between biodiversity conservation and human well-being
Thomas O. McShane,Paul Hirsch,Tran Trung,Alexander N. Songorwa,Ann P. Kinzig,Bruno Monteferri,David R. Mutekanga,Hoang Van Thang,Juan Luis Dammert,Manuel Pulgar-Vidal,Meredith Welch-Devine,J. Peter Brosius,Peter Coppolillo,Sheila O’Connor +13 more
TL;DR: The background and limitations of win–win approaches to conservation and human well-being are explored, the prospect of approaching conservation challenges in terms of trade-offs and hard choices are discussed, and a set of guiding principles are presented that can serve to orient strategic analysis and communication regardingTrade-offs.

Negotiation Support Models for Integrated Natural Resource Management in Tropical Forest Margins
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors distinguish between natural resource management problems at village level, within country, or transboundary, and those that relate local stakeholder decisions to global issues such as biodiversity conservation.

Adapting Science to Adaptive Managers: Spidergrams, Belief Models, and Multi-agent Systems Modeling
Tim Lynam,François Bousquet,Christophe Le Page,Patrick D'Aquino,Olivier Barreteau,Frank Chinembiri,Bright. Mombeshora +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, two case studies are presented in which models were used as focal tools in problems associated with common-pool resource management in developing countries, and both case studies recognized the key role that research and particularly the development of models, played in bring different actors together to formulate improved management strategies or policies.

The Adaptive Decision-Making Process as a Tool for Integrated Natural Resource Management: Focus, Attitudes, and Approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the key focus of integrated natural resource management should not be the natural resource itself, but rather the interactions of humans with each other and with their natural environment, and the decisions they make about using and managing resources.
