dc.description.abstractMediterranean pastoral systems are providers of a wide array of Nature’s Contribution to People (NCP). They are ‘complex systems’ characterized by limited resources and socio-economic dynamics currently threatened by climate and social changes. Despite a growing number of scientifc articles dealing with NCP, there is a high risk that the existing literature has left out the complexity of such systems. In the light of ongoing social, economic, and climatic changes in the Mediterranean basin, neglecting the complexity of pastoral systems can lead to signifcant research biases, missing the priorities afecting the stability and continuity of such systems. A combination of frameworks of analysis provided by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services was applied to understand if and to what extent the complexity of Mediterranean pastoral systems has been considered in the available literature. Most of the 126 papers report studies conducted in the European Union zone (102 papers), with the majority in Spain (50). Fewer studies have been conducted in the Middle East (15 papers) and Africa zones (9 papers). Despite results confrming the importance of pastoral systems as providers of NCP, most of the eligible papers focused on regulating NCP. A lack of a multisectoral approach and integration of knowledge suggests that the complexity of Mediterranean pastoral systems has been overlooked by researchers. The creation of ‘hybrid knowledge’ bridging the expertise of diferent stakeholders could be the key ingredient to properly address the complexity of Mediterranean pastoral systems.ca
dc.description.sponsorshipThis study was carried out with the support of project PACTORES (PAstoral ACTORs, ES, and Society as key elements of agro-pastoral systems in the Mediterranean), ERANETMED ‘EURO-MEDITERRANEAN Cooperation through ERANET joint activities and beyond’- Joint Transnational Call 2016 - Environmental challenges and solutions for vulnerable communities (ERANETMED2-72-303). We would like to thank the late Marco Toderi for his considerable help and inspiration and without whom this research would never have been possible.
