Rigidity or poverty traps
administrador2020-04-23T20:10:33+00:00Rigidity or poverty traps Poverty and rigidity traps are systemic conformations that control the dynamics of the social-ecological systems (SES) and the evolution of the adaptive cycles. In both cases, they hinder or interfere with the care and management of SES. The poverty trap is a configuration which is characterized by [...]
Alternative regimes
administrador2019-09-05T17:48:15+00:00Alternative regimes Systems can change their properties depending on external or internal controls, in linear or nonlinear ways, or by dynamics known as alternative states or sudden regime shifts. Nonlinear dynamics and the existence of alternative states imply the occurrence of thresholds where the system presents very abrupt changes or change rates [...]
Resilience
administrador2019-09-05T17:48:20+00:00Resilience The resilience of a system refers to its tendency to return to a particular state following a perturbation or disturbance, while staying within a limited range of structure and function. This range can refer to social (education, development), economic (capital flows, per capita income), or environmental (biodiversity, food production) variables. [...]
Adaptive cycles and Panarchy
administrador2019-09-05T17:48:41+00:00Adaptive cycles and Panarchy The origin of the adaptive cycles’ model derives from the comparative study of ecosystem dynamics. It is meant to be a tool for analyzing the dynamics of natural or other systems. Currently it is a required reference tool for transcendent system analysis (that originates from the interaction [...]
