The social-ecological system (SES) approach is fundamental for addressing global change challenges and to developing sustainability science. Over the last two decades, much progress has been made in translating this approach from theory to practice, although the knowledge generated is still sparse and difficult to compare. To better understand how SESs function across time, space, and scales, coordinated, long-term SES research and monitoring strategies under a common analytical framework are needed. For this purpose, the collection of standard datasets is a cornerstone, but we are still far from identifying and agreeing on the common core set of variables that should be used. In this study, based on literature reviews, expert workshops, and researcher perceptions collected through online surveys, we developed a reference list of 60 variables for the characterization and monitoring of SESs. The variables were embedded in a conceptual framework structured in 13 dimensions that were distributed throughout the three main components of the SES: the social system, the ecological system, and the interactions between them. In addition, the variables were prioritized according to relevance and consensus criteria identified in the survey responses. Variable relevance was positively correlated with consensus across respondents. This study brings new perspectives to address existing barriers in operationalizing lists of variables in the study of SESs, such as the applicability for place-based research, the capacity to deal with SES complexity, and the feasibility for long-term monitoring of social-ecological dynamics. This study may constitute a preliminary step to identifying essential variables for SESs. It will contribute toward promoting the systematic collection of data around most meaningful aspects of the SESs and to enhancing comparability across place-based research and long-term monitoring of complex SESs, and therefore, the production of generalizable knowledge. grafs. application/pdf doi:10.5751/ES-11676-250301 issn:1708-3087 http://ri.agro.uba.ar/greenstone3/library/collection/arti/document/2020pachecoromero eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess openAccess Ecology and Society Vol.25, no.3 95 https://www.resalliance.org COUPLED HUMAN AND NATURAL SYSTEMS ESSENTIAL SOCIAL - ECOLOGICAL VARIABLES ESSENTIAL VARIABLES LONG - TERM SOCIAL - ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH LTSER PLACE - BASED SOCIAL - ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH SOCIAL - ECOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS SOCIAL - ECOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS SOCIAL - ECOLOGICAL MONITORING SOCIAL - ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM FRAMEWORK SOCIAL - ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONING An expert - based reference list of variables for characterizing and monitoring social - ecological systems article info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:ar-repo/semantics/artículo publishedVersion info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion |
