Andersson, E., M. Tengö, T. McPhearson, P. Kremer. 2015. Cultural ecosystem services as a gateway for improving urban sustainability. Ecosystem Services 12: 165–168.
Quality of life in cities depends, among other things, on ecosystem services (ES) generated locally within the cities by multifunctional blue and green infrastructure. Successfully protecting green infrastructure in locations also attractive for urban development requires deliberate processes of planning and policy formulation as well as broad public support. We propose that cultural ecosystem services (CES) may serve as a u...

Bodin, B., B. Crona, M. Thyresson, A.-L. Golz, M. Tengö 2014. Conservation Success as a Function of Good Alignment of Social and Ecological Structures and Processes. Conservation Biology, online, DOI: 10.1111/cobi.12306
How to create and adjust governing institutions so that they align (fit) with complex ecosystem processes and structures across scales is an issue of increasing concern in conservation. It is argued that lack of such social-ecological fit makes governance and conservation difficult, yet progress in explicitly defining and rigorously testing what constitutes a good fit has been limited. We used a novel modeling approach and d...
Enqvist, J., M. Tengo, O. Bodin. 2014. Citizen networks in the Garden City: Protecting urban ecosystems in rapid urbanization. Landscape and Urban Planning. 130: 24-35
Citizen groups can be important actors in urban environmental stewardship, and network structure often influences function and performance. However, most previous studies focus on cities in "developed" countries, thereby overlooking conditions relevant for the parts of the planet where most people live and most urban growth is expected. This paper describes a citizen network engaged in environmental issues in Bangalore, Indi...

Spierenburg, Connecting diverse knowledge systems for enhanced ecosystem governance – The Multiple Evidence Approach, AMBIO 2014, 43:579-591 Indigenous and local knowledge systems as well as practitioners’ knowledge can provide valid and useful knowledge to enhance our understanding of governance of biodiversity and ecosystems for human well-b...
Nagendra, Harini; H. S. Sudhira; Madhusudan Katti; Maria Tengö; Maria Schewenius. 2014. La urbanización y su impacto sobre el uso de la tierra, la biodiversidad y los ecosistemas en la India, Interdisciplina 2:169–178
La India, país predominantemente rural, está atravesando por una transición lenta, pero constante y a gran escala hacia la urbanización. La cantidad de ciudades o mega ciudades ha aumentado de 5,161 a 7,935 (2011). La onu pronostica que para el 2031 el 15 % de la población urbana del mundo, alrededor de 600 millones de personas estarán viviendo en ciudades de este país. Este incremento de la población urbana tendrá implicaci...

Bodin, Ö., Tengö, M. Disentangling intangible social—ecological systems. Global Environ. Change (2012), doi: 10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2012.01.005
Contemporary environmental challenges call for new research approaches that include the human dimension when studying the natural environment. In spite of the recent development of several conceptual frameworks integrating human society with nature, there has been less methodological and theoretical progress on how to quantitatively study such social—ecological interdependencies. We propose a novel theoretical framework for ...
