  3. 2. Exploring connections in social-ecological systems : The links between biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being in South Africa

    Författare :Maike Hamann; Reinette (Oonsie) Biggs; Belinda Reyers; Thomas Elmqvist; Fabrice DeClerck; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; complex adaptive systems; mapping; ecosystem service bundles; multidimensional human well-being; biodiversity loss; inequality; research frameworks; interdisciplinarity; natural resource management; sustainable development; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : A key challenge of the Anthropocene is to advance human development without undermining critical ecosystem services. Central to this challenge is a better understanding of the interactions and feedbacks between biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, which interact in dynamic and complex social-ecological systems.

  4. 3. Mapping social-ecological systems and human well-being : A spatial exploration of the links between people and the environment in South Africa

    Författare :Maike Hamann; Reinette Biggs; Gretchen Daily; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Social-ecological; systems; ecosystem services; bundles; human well-being; mapping; South Africa; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

    Sammanfattning : It has become increasingly clear that dealing with present day environmental crises requires a holistic view that takes into account the interactions of social and ecological factors across multiple spatial and temporal scales. An example of where this new paradigm is being operationalized is the study of social-ecological systems. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Regime Shifts in the Anthropocene

    Författare :Juan Carlos Rocha; Garry Peterson; Reinette Biggs; Örjan Bodin; Kevin Noone; Sarah Cornell; Ingo Fretzer; Steven Lade; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; regime shifts; critical transitions; network analysis; dynamic tipping points; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Systems Ecology; systemekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Regime shifts are large, abrupt and often hard to reverse changes in the function and structure of socal-ecological systems. These regime shifts have been documented in a broad range of systems and scales both in marine, terrestrial and polar ecosystems. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Partitioning and Control for Dynamical Systems Evolving on Manifolds

    Författare :Xiao Tan; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; James D. Biggs; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Partitioning and control; Transition system; Geometric control; Barrier functions; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : With the development and integration of cyber-physical and safety-critical systems, control systems are expected to achieve tasks that include logic rules, receptive decision-making, safety constraints, and so forth. For example, in a persistent surveillance application, an unmanned aerial vehicle might be required to "take photos of areas A and B infinitely often, always avoid unsafe region C, and return to the charging point when the battery level goes low.
