A Framework to tackling the synchrony between Social and Ecological phases of the annual cyclic movement of transhumant pastoralism por Perez Leon, Natalia, Bruzzone, Octavio Augusto, Easdale, Marcos Horacio

“…Transhumant pastoralism is mobile livelihood strategy in which families and their herds move seasonally from lowlands, where they settle during the winter, towards the highlands, located in mountainous areas, during the summer. We propose a framework, rooted in a socio-environmental coevolutionary perspective, for the transhumant annual cycle as comprised by the winter-phase, the summer-phase, and movement transitions between them. …”
