Urban social-ecological innovation : implications for adaptive natural resource management (2018)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2018). Urban social-ecological innovation : implications for adaptive natural resource management. Ecological Economics, 150, 153-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolecon.2018.04.005

The urban landscape, as home to the majority of the global population, has been the scene of significant and lasting ecological degradation. Consequently, modern cities rely on distant and geographically vast areas for the provision of a range of imp...

Ecosystem services of collectively managed urban gardens : exploring factors affecting synergies and trade-offs at the site level (2017)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2017). Ecosystem services of collectively managed urban gardens : exploring factors affecting synergies and trade-offs at the site level. Ecosystem Services, 26(A), 17-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2017.05.009

Collective management of urban green space is being acknowledged and promoted. The need to understand productivity and potential trade-offs between co-occurring ecosystem services arising from collectively managed pockets of green space is pivotal to...

Within the ecosys­tem ser­vices frame­work, val­u­a­tions of nat­ural cap­i­tal have pri­mar­ily taken a land­scape-scale ap­proach. The gen­er­a­tion of trans­fer­able mon­e­tary val­ues for in­di­vid­ual ecosys­tems has like­wise de­pended on as­se...

Appraisal of social-ecological innovation as an adaptive response by stakeholders to local conditions : mapping stakeholder involvement in horticulture orientated green space management (2016)
Journal Article
management. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening, 18, 86-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug.2016.05.010

Urban areas are hubs of creativity and innovation providing fertile ground for novel responses to modern environmental challenges. Previous studies have attempted to conceptualise the ecological, social and political potential of social-ecological...

Novel approaches to natural resource management, particularly those which promote stakeholder participation, have been put forward as fundamental ingredients for establishing resilient, polycentric forms of environmental governance. This is nowhere m... Read More about Social-ecological innovation : adaptive responses to urban environmental conditions.

Site-specific factors in the production of local urban ecosystem services : a case study of community-managed green space (2016)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2016). Site-specific factors in the production of local urban ecosystem services : a case study of community-managed green space. Ecosystem Services, 17, 208-216. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2016.01.003

Pockets of green space in cities can provide important ecosystem services for urban residents. As naturalistic spaces in urban areas become increasingly sparse, communities are beginning to co-manage existing incidental pockets of land towards the cr...
