An outstanding challenge with broad implications for an ecologically sustainable future is to understand how living systems—whether natural or social—balance opportunity and constraint in a given environment. In this paper, I compare the proposed mechanics of a heuristic developed to explain transformational change in systems ecology with various paleontological patterns and hypotheses for its conceptual homology and thus explanatory power in causal terms. The adaptive cycle heuristic, which has potential to influence current environmental and natural resources law and policy, has two components: 1) cycles that alternate between long periods of growth and shorter periods that create opportunities for innovation (new structures or conditions that become economically successful), and 2) the interaction of nested sets of such cycles (panarchies) across space and time scales. I critically evaluate three basic underlying tenets of the adaptive cycle related to the circumstances of innovation—empty niche space, competition and availability of resources—because of their importance to the development of a theoretical framework for understanding the ecological dimension of opportunity in biological evolution. I conclude that not all of the proposed mechanics and observed phenomenology of the adaptive cycle are appropriate in biological evolution. I draw insight, however, from the hierarchical nature of the heuristic to outline a “panarchical” conceptualization of the escalation hypothesis; I identify self-organization, emergence, selection and adaptation, and feedback as phenomena that are held in common across systems and scales, which influence how entities in the economic hierarchy of life arise, interact and evolve.Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.Robert Frost.Every system either finds a way to develop or else collapses.Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

The adaptive cycle and panarchy are recognised tools for resilience assessment prior to establishing new management approaches aligned with Anthropocene needs. This study used the adaptive cycle and panarchy to assess the dynamics of the social-ecological system (SES) of La Marjaleria, Spain, which experienced increasing human pressure and environmental degradation in recent decades, and developed the ‘adaptive curve’ as a novel graphical representation of system change in the presentation of the results. Based on a literature review of historical changes in La Marjaleria, a SES analysis was performed using the adaptive cycle and panarchy, following the Resilience Alliance’s Practitioners Guide. The assessment offered new insights into the social and ecological dynamics of La Marjaleria through identification of causes and consequences from a complex systems perspective. Previous land-use management in the area has generated tensions between different stakeholders and reduced environmental resilience. The systems thinking approach highlighted the complexity of change processes, offering the possibility of new routes for dialogue and understanding. The ‘adaptive curve’ developed as a method of illustrating interactions across scales in this study could be useful for synthesising the results of a panarchy analysis and supporting their interpretation, offering relevant departure points for future planning and decision-making.

AbstractThis paper interrogates the nature of climate resilience by adopting “panarchy” as a heuristic model to visualize how small-scale processes such as individual environmental risk perceptions are interrelated with broader social and ecological systems to confer community resilience. Thematic analysis of resident interviews from a pilot study conducted in the Rockaways, New York revealed the foundations of environmental risk perceptions and the ways in which they are both a product of and catalyst for social-ecological system (SES) resilience. The debate around managed retreat necessitates a complex systems perspective to promote equitable and just adaptation and transformation while avoiding unintended consequences which often result from single-scale inquiry. Integrating risk perception in the explicit multi-scalar model of panarchy proposes a new way to think about the complex social, economic, political, and psychological processes converging across space and time to confer community resilience and visualize the complexity inherent in relocation. In other words, connecting climate resilience and managed retreat with psychological processes like risk perception emphasizes the importance of implementing multi-scalar interventions to build community adaptive capacity.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper evaluates the delivery of ecosystem services under different regimes of agricultural input subsidy in post-independent Malawi using (1) the protocol of the Millennium Ecosystem Service to characterize the services; and (2) the panarchy framework to describe the relationships among the political regimes, economic growth [gross domestic product (GDP)] and food security. Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans obtain from ecosystems that support, directly or indirectly, human survival and quality of life. Panarchy is a nested set of adaptive cycles that provides a tool to explore the conductivity of ecological and social-cultural systems. The Malawian temporal political landscape has experienced several reorganizations since independence, in which the governments of Malawi have initiated socio-economic growth of the economy through implementation of different farmer input subsidy programs with variable success. The most recent agricultural subsidy program (2005–2009) appears to have shown an improvement in food security for the people of Malawi. However, this may be at the expense of an increased rate of decline in other ecosystem services, especially arable land resources and forestry. If agricultural subsidies continue to be implemented without a holistic understanding of all ecosystem services delivered to the whole country, then the system will be unsustainable. We recommend the ecosystem service approach and the panarchy framework as potentially useful tools for policy makers.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes an evolutionary and sustainability perspective of the innovation ecosystem. This study revisits the Panarchy model in order to generate new perspectives on the innovation ecosystem. The Panarchy model describes the evolutionary nature of complex adaptive systems relying on four phases, without, however, being deterministic: exploitation, conservation, decline, and reorganization. When ecosystems face important shocks, adaptive mechanisms and properties within the ecosystem lead the ecosystem to a new reorganization phase, which gives birth to another exploitation phase. In this perspective, the innovation ecosystem allows the avoidance of technology lock-ins and structural and organizational rigidity by providing mechanisms to enhance both resilience and competitiveness. Innovation ecosystem sustainability relies on two major dual forces: the exploitative function and the generative or autopoiesis function. Therefore, evolutionary and sustainability perspectives remain the “natural home” for developing works and models about the innovation ecosystem, and instrumental for policy-makers and practitioners involved in innovation management.

The nature and scope of changes in organizations’ external environments is without precedent due to planetary shifts, or major changes in earth’s biophysical systems. Our theories of organizational adaptation lack the capacity to explain what will be needed on behalf of business organizations, and their strategists and managers, to adjust to these shifts. In this essay, we review organizational adaptation theory and explain why it falls short of offering adequate explanations in an era of planetary shifts. We then draw on ecological theories of adaptation, with their focus on social-ecological systems and panarchy, to suggest ways to advance organizational adaptation theory for our times.

In this article we summarize histories of nonlinear, complex interactions among societal, legal, and ecosystem dynamics in six North American water basins, as they respond to changing climate. These case studies were chosen to explore the conditions for emergence of adaptive governance in heavily regulated and developed social-ecological systems nested within a hierarchical governmental system. We summarize resilience assessments conducted in each system to provide a synthesis and reference by the other articles in this special feature. We also present a general framework used to evaluate the interactions between society and ecosystem regimes and the governance regimes chosen to mediate those interactions. The case studies show different ways that adaptive governance may be triggered, facilitated, or constrained by ecological and/or legal processes. The resilience assessments indicate that complex interactions among the governance and ecosystem components of these systems can produce different trajectories, which include patterns of (a) development and stabilization, (b) cycles of crisis and recovery, which includes lurches in adaptation and learning, and (3) periods of innovation, novelty, and transformation. Exploration of cross scale (Panarchy) interactions among levels and sectors of government and society illustrate that they may constrain development trajectories, but may also provide stability during crisis or innovation at smaller scales; create crises, but may also facilitate recovery; and constrain system transformation, but may also provide windows of opportunity in which transformation, and the resources to accomplish it, may occur. The framework is the starting point for our exploration of how law might play a role in enhancing the capacity of social-ecological systems to adapt to climate change.

Full textAbstract:
Liming has been used extensively in Sweden, but the management success has been only partial, mostly mitigating the impact of acidification rather than restoring the ecological communities to a self-maintaining pre-acidified state. Rather than a sound restoration tool, liming is a form of command-and-control management that comprises a significant disturbance in the system, which manifests in the form of profound alterations of biophysical settings of lakes. This thesis aims to assess biological responses to liming with a special focus on resilience by looking at the cross-scale interaction aspects of littoral invertebrate communities in limed lakes within the framework of panarchy theory. The thesis is based on multivariate time series modeling (AEM-RDA) to extract hierarchical temporal fluctuations patterns (temporal scales) in littoral invertebrate communities. This analysis tested for the premise of panarchy theory that complex systems are hierarchically structured. Time series analyses were followed by Spearman rank correlation analysis to test another premise of panarchy theory; namely, that “information” (e.g., management interventions) flows between these hierarchical scales. Specifically, Ca:Mg ratios were used as a surrogate of liming, and correlated with each temporal pattern identified by the AEM-RDA. The result showed the distinct temporal scales in littoral invertebrate communities in limed lakes, fitting the premises of panarchy theory and agreeing with previous studies that found hierarchical temporal organizations in other lake communities. The correlation analyses indicated weak cross-scale manifestation of Ca:Mg ratios in the littoral invertebrate communities, suggesting a weak information flow of liming in managed lakes. This “dilution” of management may provide one mechanism that could explain why liming is not effective in creating a self-organizing, resilient system. The results of this study allow shedding further light on liming as a coerced regime (degraded complex systems forced into a state of desired conditions (e.g., ecosystem service provisioning) through constant management). Most research has so far focused on the evaluation of traditional metrics of biodiversity, which have shown that community structure is substantially altered in limed lakes, deviating from those in circumneutral reference lakes and degraded acidified lakes. This thesis, therefore, concludes that integration of traditional ecological approaches and complexity studies may provide complementary insight into the organization of ecosystems and sustainable resource management.

Full textAbstract:
The idea of evolutionary resilience in complex systems has gained attention in the recent years. This approach provides better insights in the context of emergence and adaptive capacity, that characterises complex adaptive systems (CAS) such as social-ecological systems (SES), than traditional reductionist and engineering resilience approaches. Departing from this premise, a set of methodologies that are funded in these principles have been developed, with promising perspectives for the analysis of these systems. In this thesis, one of these methodologies, the panarchy, is applied into La Marjaleria case study, in Castelló (Spain), in order to explore its capacity to offer new useful insights for the management of the area throught he scope of resilience. Looking for a systematic methodological approach, the focal SES and their scales are initially defined, followed by an adaptive cycle approach, performed for each of the scales, and finally a panarchy approach that is applied through focusing on the interactions between the adaptive cycles at the different scales. The results are also presented through a new graphic approach that accounts for the representation of the adaptive cycles at the different scales and their interactions in a dynamic manner that includes the time variable, and that can therefore facilitate its understanding. From the analysis performed, the system is found to be stuck in a rigidity trap because of the lack of transformative visions from both scales above (municipality) and below (households). Furthermore, the influence of cascade effects from both the upper and lower scale in the manner through which the focal scale navigated the adaptive cycle has become evident. The panarchy has also helped to discover some existing mismatches and archetypes affecting the system. After all, a general resilience assessment has helped to find out that the system presents a low resilience, and therefore an inherent risk of collapse in the event of external shocks that can make thresholds to be crossed. A further analysis, focused on the specific resilience, has been performed for the risk of flooding. The results show that the engineering resilience approach through which this risk has been traditionally managed could have helped to underestimate flood hazard and therefore contributed to an irresponsible occupation of the floodable area. New approaches towards resilience risk management could help to address the problematics caused by floods and also open new opportunities for long-term sustainability of the system. The panarchy approach can offer useful insights for the assessment of SES from the scope of complexity and multi-scale interactions, providing an approach consistent with the evolutionary resilience characteristic of CAS. However, there still exist some gaps, both in its perception by practitioners and in the availability of solid grounds towards the standardization of its application, implying that there is still room for further improvement in this methodological approach.

Con el objetivo de identificar factores y características que faciliten y promuevan la resiliencia social-ecológica en las ciudades, esta tesis doctoral sitúa, analiza, estructura, e interpreta las prácticas urbanísticas de las ciudades frente a los cambios, crisis, y colapsos internos y externos, utilizando como metodología de análisis la heurística de las dinámicas evolutivas de los Sistemas Social-Ecológicos (SSE). Esta metodología, basada en el ciclo adaptativo y en la panarquía de Holling y Gunderson (2002), permite aplicar una visión no lineal, con cambio imprevisibles, y multi-escalar ante la vulnerabilidad de los SSE frente a la visión lineal, institucionalizada y prospectiva de la disciplina del planeamiento urbanístico, condenado a resolver los problemas del pasado (Davoudi, 2012). El análisis se centra en la ciudad de Barcelona desde la aprobación del Plan Comarcal de 1953 hasta 2016, con un enfoque específico en el barrio de Vallcarca del Distrito de Gracia. Tras la introducción en el capítulo I, se presenta la base teórica del ciclo adaptativo y de los SSE adaptativos en el capítulo II, y en el capítulo III se describen y se comparan las distintas etapas y ciclos de las prácticas urbanísticas de Barcelona desde la óptica de la ciencia del urbanismo. En el capítulo IV, utilizando el ejemplo de Barcelona, se defiende que las dinámicas evolutivas de las ciudades son asimilables a las de la naturaleza al cumplir, las primeras, las características de los sistemas adaptativos: la no-linealidad, la imprevisibilidad, y la existencia de cambios y crisis que precisan de adaptación para ser sostenibles. Se muestra cómo el ciclo adaptativo permite analizar las dinámicas evolutivas de los SSE. Dicha herramienta también puede ser utilizada para analizar la evolución de las ciudades, al ser estas asimilables a las evoluciones de la naturaleza. Se procede a aplicar dicho método de análisis utilizando, en paralelo diversas metodologías de recogida de datos, incluyendo la observación participante y entrevistas semi-estructuradas, entre otras. En concreto, en el capítulo IV, se analiza, utilizando el instrumento del ciclo adaptativo, las prácticas urbanísticas a escala de la ciudad y se comparan con los ciclos de la ciencia del urbanismo. En el capítulo V se presenta el caso específico del barrio de Vallcarca y sus perspectivas, y en el capítulo VI se introduce el concepto de Panarquía relacionando las dinámicas de Barcelona con el barrio. En el capítulo VII se concluye con los resultados principales del estudio. En resumen, se verá en esta tesis doctoral, cómo frente al análisis lineal y prospectivo de la ciencia del urbanismo, el instrumento de los ciclos adaptativos y de la panarquía de los SSE de la ciencia de la ecología, aplicado a la gestión del sistema urbano, permite:
- Subrayar que existe una lógica del ciclo (adaptativo) y de la propia recurrencia de los ciclos (con su estructura de fases) en el sistema urbano y sus prácticas urbanísticas, y
- Diferenciar entre dos modelos complementarios y no maximizables simultáneamente: el prospectivo de crecimiento y estabilización (front-loop) y el retrospectivo de innovación y aprendizaje (back-loop), situando así, con mejor precisión, los fenómenos de innovación urbana y social, y estableciendo, con mayor detalle, los umbrales del cambio en el sistema urbano. A su vez, se aplica la teoría de los sistemas complejos adaptativos evaluando el fenómeno de la panarquía de los sistemas urbanos del punto vista espacial, social y medioambiental, lo que permite poner en valor los procesos de memoria (estabilización) y, sobretodo, de revuelta (innovación) que surgen desde abajo.
Estas prácticas urbanísticas retrospectivas y recurrentes contienen atributos de resiliencia, como son la diversidad, la auto-organización, la adaptabilidad, y el aprendizaje; frente a los atributos de eficiencia, corporativismo e institucionalización de las prácticas prospectivas.Cities (social-ecological systems) evolve as an adaptive self-organized complex system. As a consequence, sustainable development of urban systems are based on their degree of adaptability and transformability to systemic change. This capacity to adapt is called resilience. The adaptive cycle and the panarchy heuristic (Gunderson and Holling, 2002) is a representation of resilience dynamics by inner-scales and cross-scales networks, nested in a set of adaptive cycles experienced by permanent changes caused by hierarchical relationships at both time and space scale and through the “revolt” and “memory” connections in order to establish a sustainable development. The main goal of this doctoral thesis is to apply the Adaptive cycle and the Panarchy heuristic as an Urban Planning management tool and methodology to analyze, structure and interpret urban dynamics from 1953 to 2016. Two case studies are presented: The city of Barcelona and the neighborhood of VallcarcA

Full textAbstract:
This study examines how leaders enable their organisations to adapt and succeed in complex environments. Through the joint lenses of complexity theory and the cognition and social neuroscience of leadership it focuses on how leadership directly influences the creation and ongoing function of an adaptive organisation. The study includes the comparison of four leaders through embedded case studies as an abductive approach to initial theory building, and the follow up of two of them as a comparative method of analysis, and it generates a substantive theory of leadership cognition called emergent logic. This leadership approach is especially relevant to leading complex human systems in emergent environments, the scenario for the majority of organisations in the present day. This thesis addresses two questions: How do leaders of adaptive organisations think? And what do leaders of adaptive organisations do? Among the major findings the study reveals that a critical success factor is the leader’s capacity to create and guide a complex human system by establishing and maintaining a shared mental model of its collective purpose, guided by deeply held and articulated values. The cognitive constructs of complexity and emergent logic have a direct and indirect effect on individuals and the organisation, and facilitate the creation of an adaptive operational culture and organisational mind, and the complementary enabling structures that allow for ongoing evolution through emergence, transformation and diffusion as required. Thus the organisation and its people can progressively build more complex emergent mental models and solutions in the face of increasingly common unpredictable situations, leading to the capability for organisational adaption and evolution over time. In contributing to the theory of creating and leading adaptive organisations, supported by empirical research, this study has improved our understanding of the effect of the leader’s cognitive capacity on organisational adaptability and the level of entanglement; revealed the links between the creation of adaptive organisational structures and their culture; examined the growth of individual and collective capability to manage the increasing complexity and emergence created by successful adaption and evolution; identified the common elements of various types of complex systems that are relevant to adaptive change; presented a model of emergent logic and described the empirical use of that model over time.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, Business School, 2014

Full textAbstract:
abstract: Research indicates that projected increases in global urban populations are not adequately addressed by current food production and planning. In the U.S., insufficient access to food, or the inability to access enough food for an active, healthy life affects nearly 15% of the population. In the face of these challenges, how are urban planners and other food system professionals planning for more resilient food systems? The purpose of this qualitative case study is to understand the planning and policy resources and food system approaches that might have the ability to strengthen food systems, and ultimately, urban resiliency. It proposes that by understanding food system planning in this context, planning approaches can be developed to strengthen urban food systems. The study uses the conceptual framework of urban planning for food, new community food systems, urban resiliency, and the theory of Panarchy as a model for urban planning and creation of new community food systems. Panarchy theory proposes that entrenched, non-diverse systems can change and adapt, and this study proposes that some U.S. cities are doing just that by planning for new community food systems. It studied 16 U.S. cities considered to be leaders in sustainability practices, and conducted semi-structured interviews with professionals in three of those cities: Portland, OR; San Francisco, CA; and Seattle, WA. The study found that these cities are using innovative methods in food system work, with professionals from many different departments and disciplines bringing interdisciplinary approaches to food planning and policy. Supported by strong executive leadership, these cities are creating progressive urban agriculture zoning policies and other food system initiatives, and using innovative educational programs and events to engage citizens at all socio-economic levels. Food system departments are relatively new, plans and policies among the cities are not consistent, and they are faced with limited resources to adequately track food system-related data. However they are still moving forward with programming to increase food access and improve their food systems. Food-system resiliency is recognized as an important goal, but cities are in varying stages of development for resiliency planning.Dissertation/Thesis

AbstractIn this brief paper, we consider and apply the concept of Panarchy and the Adaptive Cycle to a case study from the ancient world, specifically the Mycenaeans at the end of the second millennium BCE. We suggest that the collapse of elite Mycenaean society can be conceptualized as a result of its over-reliance on a hyper-networked international system, whose disintegration brought about a cascading event upon the Aegean World. It may be useful to view the events in this area in terms of regional adaptive cycles and their engagement within and upon broader interconnected systems (Panarchy).

Architecture and built form embody resilience at multiple scales in time and space and are multisystemic. This chapter introduces the concept of operative panarchy, which combines Saverio Muratori’s project to activate the historical knowledge of architecture, cities, and territory and panarchy, based on Lance H. Gunderson and C. S. Holling’s description of adaptive transformations in human and natural systems. Operative panarchy, therefore, offers a framework for embodying multisystemic resilience, through incorporating the empirical evidence and historical analysis of human adaptation and ecosystem transformation in the historical evidence of architecture and built form. Archeological and cultural records, together with our common familiarity with the built environment, demonstrate how humans creatively reorganize and change in response to crisis, both minor everyday sensorimotor breakdowns and unprecedented catastrophic events. An operative panarchy diverges from previous discussions on applying various technical understandings of resilience to the professional practices of architecture and urban design and planning and proposes a more universal and embodied understanding of the multisystemic resilience of architecture and built form. Various examples will be presented, including a discussion on developing the concept of operative panarchy in response to the unprecedented speed and scale of urban development in contemporary China.

Full textAbstract:
Wetlands are key ecosystems of high biological diversity that provide valuable ecosystem services. These are particularly important in water stressed semi-arid countries, which enhances their vulnerability to degradation. The Okavango Delta, a key wetland in Botswana, is characterised by dynamic inter and intra specific interactions. There are dynamic biotic and abiotic interactions in the system that enhances its resilience. The flood pulse is the main factor mediating bio-physical dynamics in this system. Despite the various perturbations that have been experienced in the system, the Delta has always been able to absorb them and retain its character at the general ecosystem level. These notwithstanding, there have been some changes at the local scale where the Delta has shifted regimes and entered into altered states as a consequence of either channel or lagoon failure. Management of these systems should ensure that their dynamic characteristics are maintained, and this is enshrined within the panarchy concept. Adopting the resilience framework in natural resources management allows for flexibility in devising management strategies to respond to future unexpected events.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 8 presents Foucault’s concept of environmentality as a way of capturing a new constellation of power in which modes of government seek to modulate and control the social, ecological, and technological conditions of life. The chapter discusses distinctive elements of environmental modes of government. I analyze the rise of the resilience discourse and a neo-cybernetic regime of control that problematize conventional notions of stability to exploit and foster differences and deviances. Next, I attend to new—“probiotic” (Lorimer)—modes of intervention that seek to govern through “nature” rather than against it and the emergence of “vital systems security” (Collier and Lakoff). Like classical biopolitics, the latter concept seeks to foster the welfare and the health of populations, but it does so by addressing a new object: material infrastructures, functions, and services deemed to be indispensable for collective life today. Extending Foucault’s notion of pastoral power, the last part of the chapter engages with the idea of “panarchy” (Holling et al.), which seeks to grasp the dynamics of creation and destruction in adaptation cycles of complex systems, enacting a normative grammar that is informed by logics of resilience and converts ethical responsibility into a technical responsiveness to future catastrophic events.
