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).

Building on stochastic food-web models, we propose a parsimonious bipartite-cooperation model that reproduces the key features of...
