Integrated planning and informed decision-making require an understanding of the interactions between coastal rural social-ecological systems quantification impacts adaptive management across sectors. The Mar Menor lagoon (SE-Spain) provides example how a lack integrated can lead to environmental socio-economic crises. Here we present approach using participatory modelling identify optimal solutions for sustainable development this system. Through process, co-developed causal loop diagrams that formed starting point System Dynamics model. Model its application helped facilitating knowledge exchange stakeholders, challenges opportunities development, evaluate different policy solutions. results were evaluated multi-criteria analysis demonstrating potential as decision support system set

Predicting land-use and land-management effects on stream river biota is an important aspect of land-water management, yet there are no collations what methods available to carry out those assessments nor guidance which use. This paper summarises a range with examples their applications, comments strengths weaknesses, evaluates them against set criteria, provides method selection. Assessment include empirical statistical mechanistic models, Bayesian networks, likelihood–consequence risk assessments, scoring methods, hybrid some can be informed by expert elicitation. An evaluation matrix for indicated that single ideal, selection needs carefully consider factors such as the physico-chemical stressor or biotic impact interest, intended stakeholders, scales assessment. One emergent principle separation relationships between land use stressors from biota, alternative could used. A tiered approach recommended, whereby simple low resource time requirements applied first, followed more sophisticated selected aspects if needed. There need ready-made at screening level, well development new address remaining gaps multiple stressors.

The notion of convergent and transdisciplinary integration, which is about braiding together different knowledge systems, becoming the mantra numerous initiatives aimed at tackling pressing water challenges. Yet, transition from rhetoric to actual implementation impeded by incongruence in semantics, methodologies, discourse among disciplinary scientists societal actors. This paper confronts these barriers advocating a synthesis existing missing links across frontiers distinguishing hydrology engineering, social sciences economics, Indigenous place-based knowledge, studies other interconnected natural systems such as atmosphere, cryosphere, ecosphere. Specifically, we embrace ‘integrated modeling’, both quantitative qualitative senses, vital exploratory instrument advance providing means navigate complexity manage uncertainty associated with understanding, diagnosing, predicting, governing human-water systems. While there are, arguably, no bounds pursuit inclusivity representing spectrum human processes around resources, advocate that integrated modeling can provide focused approach delineating scope through lens three fundamental questions: a) What ‘purpose’? b) constitutes sound ‘boundary judgment’? c) are ‘critical uncertainties’ how do they propagate subsystems? More broadly, call for investigating what warranted ‘systems complexity’, opposed unjustified ‘computational complexity’ when complex human-natural particular attention interdependencies feedbacks, nonlinear dynamics thresholds, hysteresis, time lags, legacy effects.

Process-based crop models have faced rapid development over the last years, and many modelling platforms are now available can be used in a wide range of conditions. Whilst selection model should suited to purpose its application, very few studies focused on impact choosing different structures data details simulation outputs. One important aspect is soil water dynamics, which simulated at levels terms approaches. In this study, we investigated structure detail simulations sugarcane growth irrigation scheduling. Three routines (Standalone, Tipping-Bucket, SWAP) were coupled with SAMUCA calibrated comprehensive field experiment dataset. We also tested influence using simplified homogeneous (SL) detailed (DL) profile information performance. The framework was evaluated against independent experiments across Brazil simulate long-term After calibration, SWAP-DL showed highest accuracy moisture predictions, 6 % error (RRMSE), but difference from TippingBucket-DL small (8 %). While performance stalk dry mass, LAI water-use efficiency within found literature, showing significant impacts drought still lacking for more rigorous evaluation. Both SWAP tipping-bucket approaches higher robustness as compared Standalone method, avoided when critical growth. use method may preferred research goal parameters limited. SWAP-SAMUCA provide an extended ability represent agrohydrological processes plantations process understanding.
