1. 1. Human Behaviour in Social-Ecological Systems : Insights from economic experiments and agent-based modelling

   Författare :Caroline Schill; Therese Lindahl; Anne-Sophie Crépin; Johan Colding; Carl Folke; Juan Camilo Cárdenas; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Human behaviour; Common-pool resources; Ecological complexity; Collective action; Sustainable resource use; Regime shifts; Thresholds; Uncertainty; Communication; Knowledge-sharing; Economic experiments; Laboratory and field experiments; Agent-based modelling; Complex adaptive systems; Social-ecological systems; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Progress towards sustainability requires changes in our individual and collective behaviour. Yet, our fundamental understanding of behaviour in relation to environmental change remains severely limited. LÄS MER

3. 2. Making complex commons work : identifying critical social-ecological factors and mechanisms for sustainable ecosystem management

   Författare :Caroline Schill; Therese Lindahl; Björn Vollan; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agent-based modelling; Behavioural experiments; Collective action; Common-pool resources; Cooperation; Ecological complexity; Knowledge sharing; Regime shifts; Social-ecological systems; Sustainable management; Thresholds; Uncertainty; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Collective action holds the key to many sustainability challenges, from local to global scales. Whether it is to manage community-based fisheries or take action against climate change or biodiversity loss – the question on how to overcome the conflict between individual and collective interests (i.e. LÄS MER

4. 3. Understanding interest politics in social-ecological systems : Mechanisms behind emergent policy responses to environmental change

   Författare :Kirill Orach; Maja Schlüter; Henrik Österblom; Thorsten Blenckner; Scott Page; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Social-ecological system; policy process; interest group; agent-based modelling; process tracing; adaptive governance; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Environmental policymaking is embedded in social-ecological systems (SES) that continuously evolve and change, often in unexpected and non-linear ways. Such challenges call for responsive policymaking that adjusts policy when new information and knowledge about social-ecological change is available. LÄS MER

5. 4. Linking distributed hydrological processes with ecosystem vegetation dynamics and carbon cycling: Modelling studies in a subarctic catchment of northern Sweden

   Författare :Jing Tang; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon cycling; Water cycling; Hydrological modelling; Ecosystem modelling; Subarctic ecosystems; Climate change;

   Sammanfattning : The Arctic and Subarctic regions are of particular importance to the global climate change and are now experiencing a climate warming that is higher than the global average. Around 50% of the global soil carbon is stored in high latitude soils, especially in permafrost and peatland soils. LÄS MER

7. 5. Spatial distribution and conservation planning of seabed biological diversity

   Författare :Genoveva Gonzalez-Mirelis; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spatial autocorrelation; ecological classifications; distribution modelling; biotopes; conservation planning; biodiversity surrogates; GIS; spatial ecology; benthos; fjord;

   Sammanfattning : Knowledge of spatial patterns of biota has become a commodity for conservation practitioners and spatial ecologists alike. This type of information enables the identification of representative and unique biological features (at some nominal scale) which itself constitutes the application par excellence of knowledge of biodiversity distribution as it relates to the design of reserve networks and the realization of spatial planning.
