CERON HERNANDEZ, Víctor Alfonso; FERNANDEZ VARGAS, Gabriel; FIGUEROA, Apolinar  y  RESTREPO, Inés. The approach of socio-ecological systems in environmental sciences. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.2, pp.85-109. ISSN 0121-3261.

The review analyzes the conceptual approach of Socioecological Systems (SSEs) in the environmental sciences. It incorporates analytical concepts and methodologies of multiple disciplines, which can be applied in the concept of SSEs, to generate a holistic and integral approach. Within this theoretical-conceptual framework, we seek for integrate concepts such resilience, adaptability, complex systems, ecosystem services and their relationship with the social system. This approach shows the management of ecosystems, considering the multiple interactions and phenomena that govern their dynamics. This discussion ultimately allows to advance in an interdisciplinary perspective in the management of ecosystems, enabling an integration of the new conditions within an evolutionary, adaptive and changing society, with the need to preserve the ecosystems on which the social and economic equilibrium depends.

Palabras clave : socioecological systems; environmental sciences; watersheds and eco-systemic services.
