Climate analogs for agricultural impact projection and adaptation: a reliability test by Bos, S.P.M., Pagella, Tim, Kindt, Roeland, Russell, A., Luedeling, Eike

“…The climate analog approach is often considered a valuable tool for climate change impact projection and adaptation planning, especially for complex systems that cannot be modeled reliably. Important examples are smallholder farming systems using agroforestry or other mixed-cropping approaches. …”

Integrating institutions into a socio-hydrological model: An example for water quality management in Burkina Faso by Carr, Gemma, Barendrecht, Marlies, Debevec, Liza, Balana, Bedru

“…Models that can integrate aspects of society such as institutions, perceptions and behaviors along with aspects of the natural system such as rainfall, runoff and water quality could offer a realistic approach to better understand and manage these complex systems. Much research progress in the development of such socio-hydrological models has been achieved in recent years. …”

Population ecology and classical biological control of forest insect pests in a changing world by Fischbein, Deborah, Corley, Juan Carlos

“…This is because other Integrated Pest Management tactics may not be readily applicable in forests as these are typically long-lived and structurally complex systems. Given the marked increase in the arrival and establishment of alien forest insects, and the worldwide development of commercial forestry, there is a growing need for classical biological control to achieve persistent pest suppression and to bar the geographical spread of alien pests. …”

Summary: creating systems innovation platforms for transformative pathways in circular economy by Sobratee‑Fajurally, Nafiisa, Nhamo, L., Mabhaudhi, Tafadzwanashe

“…More specifically, it seeks to demonstrate how tension arising between the dichotomy of short-term efficiency versus large-scale transition or mandated sector-specific achievements versus long-term systemic resilience outcomes can be accommodated if we can shift our perspective from seeing these as dichotomies to one where the evolutionary principle of complex systems is envisioned (Siegenfeld & Bar-Yam, 2020). …”

Integrated assessment of crop–livestock production systems beyond biophysical methods: role of systems simulation models by Masikati, Patricia, Homann-Kee Tui, Sabine, Descheemaeker, Katrien K., Sisito, G., Senda, Trinity S., Crespo, Olivier, Nhamo, N.

“…Computer-based tools coupled with participatory approaches for systems integrated assessments have the potential to resolve multiple dimensions of these complex systems. The products of these environmental, economic, and social analyses are important in the development of climate smart adaptation strategies. …”

Resilience Management at the Landscape Level: An Approach to Tackling Social Ecological Vulnerability of Agroforestry Systems. by Cavallero, Laura, Easdale, Marcos Horacio, Carranza, Carlos, Ledesma, Marcela, Peri, Pablo Luis, Lopez, Dardo Ruben

“…There is a wide consensus that the analysis of alternative management strategies should focus on emergent properties of these complex systems (Folke 2006). In the face of increasing anthropogenic pressure to obtain ecosystem goods from agroforestry landscapes, management decisions taken at the local level can severely affect the resilience of SES at the landscape level, thus it is essential to adopt a broader analytical perspective, considering the potential impacts of management practices on other SES within the landscape. …”
