Econics is a transdisciplinary approach to studying the dynamics and functioning of ecological systems with the aim of deriving sustainable management solutions for natural resource-dependent socio-economic systems operating under global change. In ecosystem management the principal challenge is to work 'with the grain of nature' and not against it. The Series for Econics and Ecosystem Management strives to provide solutions to problematic questions such as: How is the balance between efficiency and resilience achieved in sustainable ecological systems? How do they adapt to changing conditions? What lessons from ecosystem functioning can be learnt to inform sustainable development policy and action?
