Agent-based modeling of complex social–ecological feedback loops to assess multi-dimensional trade-offs in dryland ecosystem services

Abstract: Context Recent conceptual developments in ecosystem services research have revealed the need to elucidate the complex and unintended relationships between humans and the environment if we are to better understand and manage ecosystem services in practice. Objectives This study aimed to develop a model that spatially represents a complex human-environment (H-E) system consisting of heterogeneous socialecological components and feedback mechanisms at multiple scales, in order to assess multi-dimensional (spatial… Show more

“…In contrast, lags reduce perception of trade-offs, particularly at the individual cognitive map level, which highlights the need for greater nuance in thinking about how this particular indication of complexity relates to trade-offs. In particular, a central premise of research on social-ecological systems is that lags, whether spatial or temporal, increase the likelihood of unintended (negative) outcomes resulting from actions designed to achieve a particular goal (Miyasaka et al 2017). That we show perception of trade-offs decreases with lags does not contradict this expectation.…”

“…Some have used agent‐based modeling to represent the complexity of social and ecological interrelationships (Miyasaka et al. ), and one study by Nielsen et al. () coupled cadastral and forest‐cover data to a national registry of conservation‐program participation, the latter being a data set unique to Denmark and unavailable elsewhere.…”

“…A few studies have coupled social and biophysical variables to prioritize landscapes, either by summarizing social receptivity based on qualitative data (Game et al 2011) or by using coarse-resolution data over wide extents (Guerrero & Wilson 2017;Karimi et al 2017). Some have used agentbased modeling to represent the complexity of social and ecological interrelationships (Miyasaka et al 2017), and one study by Nielsen et al (2017) coupled cadastral and forest-cover data to a national registry of conservation-program participation, the latter being a data set unique to Denmark and unavailable elsewhere.…”

“…On the other hand, social influence also has the potential to decrease the shift, making the land use system more resilient. In their research Miyasaka et al (2017) also indicate the complex character of human environment (i.e. land use) systems caused by feedback loops between agents and their environment and interaction between the agents.…”

“…For instance, Shi, Yin & Lv (2017) show the impact of interactions and feedbacks on forest cover change. Besides explaining the importance of feedbacks and interactions, Miyasaka et al (2017) show how a threshold can lead to an abrupt land use change. Morris & Rowe (2014) point at the importance of cumulative effects due to human influence, while Nogueira Terra & Ferreira dos Santos (2012) develop a method to measure the cumulative effects on a landscape.…”
