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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
How to model ecological model in MAS - Examples
This visual-aided manual illustrates how relevant ecological processes, such as soil erosion and vegetation growth, and their natural and anthropocentric drivers are modeled as sub-models. The representing of these processes ...
How to present MAS modelling work and results
Communicating effectively the model and modeling results of complex social-ecological systems such as agricultural and livelihood systems is not an easy task. This visual-aided manual introduces a standard protocol to ...
Socio-ecological System Models for Supporting Farm Resilience: Research Needs, Gaps and Promising Approaches
It is important to increase the resilience of food production systems in the face of a changing climate, land scarcity, and changing demographics and market conditions. As farm resilience is a high-level system property ...
