Signatures of adaptive self-organization detected in swidden societies worldwide

2025-08-06

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative signatures of adaptive self-organization and the spatial scale of human management can be detected in anthropogenic landscapes. Yet, while abundant evidence for self-organization in physical and natural systems exists, there are few adaptive self-organization models that can explain coupled dynamics of human subsistence systems that have also been rigorously validated. Here, we analyze over 18,000 for...
