Managing Socio‐Ecological Systems to Achieve Sustainability: A Study of Resilience and Robustness by Domptail, Stephanie, Easdale, Marcos Horacio, Yuerlita

“…A framework for analysing policy measures and the management actions of land users was developed by Leach et al. (2010): the authors postulate that the sustainability of an SES depends on four system properties – stability, resilience, durability and robustness – and that external shocks and stresses affect these properties differently. …”

Comparison of four steady-state models of increasing complexity for assessing the leaching requirement in agricultural salt-threatened soils by Visconti, Fernando, De-Paz, José M., Rubio, José L., Sanchez, J.

“…Many models have been developed over the last 40 years for assessing the LR, and they should be compared on common grounds to guide potential users. The LR for salts (LR gamma), chloride (LRCI) and SAR (LRSAR) and therefore the eventual LR was assessed with simple equations and three steady-state computer models of increasing complexity, WATSUIT, SALSODIMAR and SALTIRSOIL. …”
