摘要

背景工业化的农业生产方式将稳定性、效率和生产力放在首位，这掩盖了我们在生产和获取粮食、纤维和燃料以及维持农业生计方面的潜在脆弱性。复原力科学旨在了解复杂适应系统（CAS）（如农业生态系统）如何缓冲干扰和适应，以保持相同的过程和功能，或在不理想的情况下根据需要进行转变。然而，复原力科学在农业生态系统中的应用并不均衡，它更多地强调恢复，这代表了一种有限的复原力视角，而不是对理解农业 CAS 中更广泛的可能动态至关重要的概念。方法我们对已发表的研究进行了综述，以评估这些概念在以恢复力为基础的农业研究中的应用情况，从而找出潜在的知识差距以及与理解作为复杂适应系统的农业系统的恢复力相关的未决科学问题。结果与结论我们讨论了恢复力科学如何理解和利用每个概念，然后介绍了这些概念目前在农业文献中的应用情况。讨论提出了一些关键的未决问题，主要集中在尺度与制度转变之间的关系、稳定性与恢复力之间的紧张关系、大于农场尺度的异质性以及临界和非临界阈值。

Addressing key issues and knowledge gaps in resilience science for agriculture

Context

Industrialized approaches to agriculture have prioritized stability, efficiency and productivity, which has masked underlying vulnerabilities in our capacity to produce and access food, fiber and fuel, and to maintain farming livelihoods. Resilience science seeks to understand how complex adaptive systems (CAS) such as agroecosystems can buffer disturbances and adapt to stay organized around the same processes and functions, or transform as needed when in an undesirable condition. However, the application of resilience science to agroecosystems has been uneven with more emphasis on recovery, which represents a limited perspective of resilience, rather than on concepts critical to understanding the broader range of possible dynamics in agricultural CAS.

Objective

The concepts of heterogeneity, scale, thresholds, regime shifts, and panarchy are at the heart of resilience science and central to understanding agroecosystems as CAS.

Methods

We conducted a review of published research to assess how these concepts have been used in resilience-based agricultural research to identify potential knowledge gaps and unresolved scientific questions relevant for understanding resilience of agricultural systems as complex adaptive systems.

Results and conclusions

We discuss how resilience science understands and utilizes each concept, and then describe its current application in the agricultural literature. The discussion presents critical unanswered questions centered on the relationship between scales and regime shifts, the tension between stability and resilience, heterogeneity at scales larger than a farm, and critical and non-critical thresholds.

Significance

We aim to inform future research directions in the application of resilience to agricultural systems.

期刊介绍： Agricultural Systems is an international journal that deals with interactions - among the components of agricultural systems, among hierarchical levels of agricultural systems, between agricultural and other land use systems, and between agricultural systems and their natural, social and economic environments. The scope includes the development and application of systems analysis methodologies in the following areas: Systems approaches in the sustainable intensification of agriculture; pathways for sustainable intensification; crop-livestock integration; farm-level resource allocation; quantification of benefits and trade-offs at farm to landscape levels; integrative, participatory and dynamic modelling approaches for qualitative and quantitative assessments of agricultural systems and decision making; The interactions between agricultural and non-agricultural landscapes; the multiple services of agricultural systems; food security and the environment; Global change and adaptation science; transformational adaptations as driven by changes in climate, policy, values and attitudes influencing the design of farming systems; Development and application of farming systems design tools and methods for impact, scenario and case study analysis; managing the complexities of dynamic agricultural systems; innovation systems and multi stakeholder arrangements that support or promote change and (or) inform policy decisions.
