Socio-ecological network structures from process graphs

Socio-economic, cultural, physical and ecological impact assessment of Kavar irrigation and drainage network in Iran

Environmental impacts assessment may be some measures to offset the impact to an acceptable level or explore new solutions. The research was conducted with the aim of assessing the socio-economic, cultural, physical and ecological impacts of Kavar irrigation and drainage network in Fars Province (Iran). In this study, Environmental impacts assessment was undertaken by ICOLD matrix. The ICOLD ma...

Ecological and Socio-ecological Economic Models

Lattice Structures from Planar Graphs

The set of all orientations of a planar graph with prescribed outdegrees carries the structure of a distributive lattice. This general theorem is proven in the first part of the paper. In the second part the theorem is applied to show that interesting combinatorial sets related to a planar graph have lattice structure: Eulerian orientations, spanning trees and Schnyder woods. For the Schnyder w...

From actors to agents in socio-ecological systems models.

The ecosystem service concept has emphasized the role of people within socio-ecological systems (SESs). In this paper, we review and discuss alternative ways of representing people, their behaviour and decision-making processes in SES models using an agent-based modelling (ABM) approach. We also explore how ABM can be empirically grounded using information from social survey. The capacity for A...

Mainstreaming Socio-Ecological Production Landscape Management Approaches

SEPLS are areas with “dynamic mosaics of habitats and land and sea uses where the harmonious interaction between people and nature maintains biodiversity while providing humans with the goods and services needed for their livelihoods, survival and well-being in a sustainable manner” (IPSI Secretariat 2015). They can be found in many parts of the world where humans are directly linked with natur...
