The adaptive cycle: More than a metaphor - ScienceDirect
2019年8月1日 · Adaptive cycles reflect endogenous dynamics fundamental to complex adaptive systems. A suite of thermodynamic indicators exist to quantify adaptive cycles. Measuring adaptive cycles at all scales in a panarchy an important step forward.
Introduction - What Is the Adaptive Cycle? | Adaptive Cycle
The four phases of the adaptive cycle are the “r” (exploitation or growth) phase, the “K” (energy conservation) phase, the “Ω” (release or collapse) phase, and the “α” (reorganization) phase. They are typically illustrated by a lazy-eight figure (Fig. 1).
Adaptive Cycle - Resilience Alliance
The adaptive cycle exhibits two major phases (or transitions). The first, often referred to as the foreloop, from r to K, is the slow, incremental phase of growth and accumulation. The second, referred to as the backloop, from Omega to Alpha, is the …
Introduction - What is Panarchy (and the Adaptive Cycle)?
A panarchy is a set of nested adaptive cycles (see Fig. 1 for an image of an adaptive cycle) organized into a hierarchy (see Fig. 2), which connects adaptive cycles at small scales to adaptive cycles at large scales (Gunderson and Holling 2002, Allen et al. 2014).
The adaptive cycle as a dynamic map for resilience thinking
2017年4月14日 · The adaptive cycle is a model of natural patterns of change in ecosystems and eco-social systems. It consists of four distinct phases: ‘growth or exploitation’ (r); ‘conservation’ (K) of established patterns and resource distribution; ‘collapse …
What Use the Adaptive Cycle? •Useful as heuristic tool - Teach non-experts how nature works - Show how different policies / actions may affect natural systems •Good for describing past changes •BUT – how useful for making predictions (is it like economics?)

Adaptive Cycle - Complex Systems Frameworks Collection
C.S. Holling first introduced the concept of the adaptive cycle in 1986 to describe cycles of change in ecosystems. The adaptive cycle consists of four key phases: Growth: This is a phase of rapid growth and resource accumulation. It's characterized by high resilience and potential for change.
Panarchy - Resilience Alliance
The panarchy framework connects adaptive cycles in a nested hierarchy. There are potentially multiple connections between phases of the adaptive cycle at one level and phases at another level. Two significant connections are labeled 'revolt' and 'remember'.
