From Synergy to Complexity: The Trend Toward Integrated Value Chain and Landscape Governance by Ros-Tonen, M.A.F., Sunderland, T.C.H.

“…We conclude that, despite a growing tendency toward integrated approaches at the landscape level, inherent landscape complexity renders persistent and significant challenges such as balancing multiple objectives, equitable inclusion of all relevant stakeholders, dealing with power and gender asymmetries, adaptive management based on participatory outcome monitoring, and moving beyond existing administrative, jurisdictional, and sectorial silos. …”

Climate vulnerability assessment of the Espeletia Complex on Páramo Sky Islands in the Northern Andes by Valencia Garcia, Jhon Brayan, Mesa, Jeison, León, Juan G., Madriñán, Santiago, Cortés, Andrés J.

“…Furthermore, changing climate, together with a general inability to adapt, may eventually constrain the rapid diversification in the Espeletia complex. Our integrative modeling illustrates how future climate may impact plant populations in a mega diverse and highly threatened ecosystem such as the Páramo, and encourages carrying out similar estimates in diverse plant complexes across other high mountain and island-like ecosystems.…”
