SESMAD

Social memory and general resilience

Variable relationship:

Reserves "of organisms, knowledge or skills" contribute to recovery from disturbance (Carpenter et al. 2012). Reserves represent the ecological (Actor Scientific Knowledge) and social memory (Actor Traditional Knowledge) that promotes recovery, adaptation (Actor Adaptative Capacity) and resilience (Ecological Resilience) to maintain the existing system configuration (Basin Switch).

Variable	Role	Role Explanation	Value
Actor scientific knowledge	Underlying independent variable	Scientific knowledge of the common denotes some social and institutional memory which contributes to actor adaptive capacity.	Medium or High
Actor traditional knowledge	Underlying independent variable	Traditional knowledge of the common denotes some social and institutional memory which contributes to actor adaptive capacity.	Medium or High
Actor adaptive capacity	Proximate independent variable	Social memory of past variability and perturbation, denoted by high levels of scientific and traditional knowledge, increases resource users' and managers capacities to adapt, manage and maintain the ecological resilience of their system	Medium or High
Ecological resilience	Intermediate outcome	Higher levels of actor adaptive capacity increases the potential of resource users' and managers to respond to uncertainty and perturbation, and thereby to maintain or enhance the ecological resilience of the system.	Moderately to highly resilient
Basin switch	Final outcome	Higher ecological resilience means the defined commons is better able to buffer, recover and adapt to disturbance events, thus remaining in a desirable stable state.	No desirable
