The adaptive life cycle of entrepreneurial ecosystems: the biotechnology cluster (2017, methodology): “work of the adaptive life cycle of entrepreneurial ecosystems (Holling 2001).”
Resilience of past landscapes: Resilience theory, society, and the Longue Durée (2003, background): “Conceptualizations of adaptive cycles and panarchy have arisen independently in ecology, archaeology, and economics, among other fields (e.g., Adams 1978, Schumpeter 1987, Tainter 1988, Redman 1999, Holling 2001).”
Ecosystem Services and Food Security: Economic Perspectives on Environmental Sustainability (2010, background): “Emergent phenomena are properties of a system that are not recognizable by an understanding of individual parts [24,25].”
Social-ecological systems as complex adaptive systems: organizing principles for advancing research methods and approaches (2018, background): “…The dynamic interactions that constitute CAS and their relations with the environment are nonlinear, which means that the magnitude of a system’s outputs cannot be measured in direct proportionality to the magnitude of its causes (Prigogine and Stengers 1984, Holling 2001, Levin et al. 2013).”
Conceptualizing food systems for global environmental change research (2008, background): “Most discussions of ecological systems envision them as embedded in scale hierarchies (Holling, 2001); this is less well documented for the social side, although institutional analysts also recognize that institutions and actors are also embedded in space and time (e.”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Sustaining Ecosystem Services in Cultural Landscapes: Analysis and Management Options Ecosystem Services are Social-ecological Services in a Traditional Pastoral System: the Case of California's Mediterranean Rangelands (2014, background): “Key Words: endangered species, landscape, pasture, ranching, scale, social–ecological system, vernal pools”
The Multiple Use of Tropical Forests by Indigenous Peoples in Mexico: a Case of Adaptive Management (2003, background): “The strategy analyzed in this paper when adopted by indigenous households and communities gives rise to a healthy socio-ecological system as theorized in the new “panarchy theory” (Holling 2001), because it is both creative and conserving and it combines learning with continuity.”
Sustainable careers: introductory chapter (2015, background): “An exemplary definition in this regard was provided by Carl Holling (2001), who defined human sustainability as: ‘the capacity to create, test and maintain adaptive capability’ (p. 390).”
Towards Sustainable Cities: Extending Resilience with Insights from Vulnerability and Transition Theory (2013, background): “Holling [29] identifies three central properties of the adaptive cycle that shape the responses of people, ecosystems and agencies to threats and crises: the inherent potential of the system, the internal connectedness between the variables, and the adaptive capacity or resilience of the system.”
Resilience and why it matters for farm management (2014, background): “In social-ecological resilience these distinct phases are conceptualised within an ‘adaptive cycle’ (Holling, 2001; Burkhard et al., 2011).”
Community resilience to long-term tourism decline and rejuvenation: a literature review and conceptual model (2016, background): “Alternatively, ecological change is slower, and therefore can be perceived as incremental system adaptations (Holling, 2001).”
