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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

SPECIAL SECTION: LAND USE OPTIONS IN DRY TROPICAL WOODLAND ECOSYSTEMS IN ZIMBABWE: A simulation model of miombo woodland dynamics under different management regimes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a dynamic simulation model of key ecological processes in miombo woodlands and examine the ecological and economic impacts of various forms of management, showing that removing harvestable trees and reducing the level of grazing by livestock causes an increase in grass fuel loads and a corresponding increase in the frequency of fires.

Integrated Natural Resource Management: Approaches and Lessons from the Himalaya
TL;DR: This study illustrates a case of land rehabilitation in a small isolated village close to the alpine zone and found communities were found to be more concerned with the immediate economic benefits from bamboo and medicinal species than the long-term benefits of tree planting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Impact of Integrated Natural Resource Management: Challenges and Experiences
TL;DR: An analytical framework and methodology for assessing the impact of integrated natural resource management (INRM) is presented and it starts with a detailed planning process that develops a well-defined, shared, and holistic strategy to achieve development impact.
