1. How on Earth? : Operationalizing the ecosystem service concept for sustainability
Sammanfattning : Production landscapes are at the center of many of the sustainability challenges that we face. The ecosystem service concept has risen in prominence over the last decades as a tool to support sustainable landscape management. LÄS MER
2. Social-ecological dynamics of ecosystem service bundles
Sammanfattning : The environments in which we live are complex, adapting and evolving in non-linear ways. The ecosystem services produced in landscapes supply resources, support livelihoods and are foundational to human wellbeing. LÄS MER
3. Advancing Resilience Practice : Bridging social-ecological resilience theory and sustainable development practice
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the application of resilience thinking in different real-world settings and research-practice interfaces, for example in the context of natural resource management, local government planning and food systems. The number of cases of resilience practice are growing, including resilience assessments, planning and action, but there are still few scientific studies and even less synthesis across cases. LÄS MER
4. Upholding the coral loop : Resilience, alternative stable states and feedbacks in coral reefs
Sammanfattning : Coral reefs are suffering unprecedented declines in coral cover and species diversity. These changes are often associated with substantial shifts in community structure to new dominant organisms. Ultimately, these “phase shifts” can be persistent and very difficult to return from.
