Modalities for Scaling up Sustainable Land Management and Restoration of Degraded Land
To tackle inter-connected global challenges of population growth and migration, climate change, biodiversity loss, and degrading land and water resources, changes in land use and management are needed at a global scale. ...
Review of integrated systems modelling methods and selection guide
This non-exhausted manual provides an overview of the landscape of system modeling methods and identifies main criteria differentiating these methods. It introduces a table of comparative assessments of potentials and ...
Agent-based modeling of complex social–ecological feedback loops to assess multi-dimensional trade-offs in dryland ecosystem services
Context: Recent conceptual developments in ecosystem services research have revealed the need to elucidate the complex and unintended relationships between humans and the environment if we are to better understand and ...
Sustaining Moroccan Oasis Agricultural System through Small Mechanization Inputs
Saharan oases can be highly artificial ecosystems, capable of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions; the traditional
system requires some degree of collective management for plants, soil and water but has ...
Steps in integrated systems analysis - A non-exhausted guideline.
This non-exhausted manual summarizes main steps in integrated systems analysis: (1) problem analysis and system boundary definition, (2) system structural analysis, (3) system functional analysis (including feedback loops ...
Land use change and ecosystem services in mountainous watersheds: Predicting the consequences of environmental policies with cellular automata and hydrological modeling
Integrated model systems that simulate land use and land cover change (LUCC) and associated changes of ecosystem services (ES) are increasingly important for supporting policies and management decisions. However, only few ...
Socio-ecological Informatics Platform for Global Agri-food Systems Sustainability: Connecting Big Data, Systems Thinking, International Community of Practice to Big System Image
An Express of Interest (EoI) aims at developing and using an agri-food system informatics (hereafter referred as agro-informatics) platform that promotes geo-informatics, interdisciplinary interoperability of multidimensional ...
Improving the date production chain in the Moroccan oases through small mechanization inputs to support the governmental development strategies
In Moroccan oases, date palm agricultural operations are mainly
manual and seldom implemented, contributing to palm grove
degradation.
The introduction of small mechanization may reduce
drudgery, encourage/attract youths, ...
Concept Note on Global Co-learning for Integrated Systems Research-in-Development (GCISR)
Concept Note on Global Co-learning for Integrated Systems Research-in-Development (GCISR). Concept paper the DS Director corrected and presented at the 13th FC Meeting in Bogor, Indonesia.
Human-environment systems: Concept and Contemporary Frameworks
This non-exhausted manual introduces concepts of system in systems science, and related claims in different systems theories. It is noted that, as the system's purpose and boundary have both ontological (objective) and ...
