To synthesize how the social–ecological systems (SES) framework supports adaptive pastoral rangeland management and present an integrated conceptual framework uniting management, governance, and knowledge systems.
Conducted a structured literature review investigating the implementation and outcomes of the social–ecological systems framework in pastoral rangeland environments.
Evaluated the limitations of conventional management paradigms across ecological, socio-cultural, and governance domains.
Conventional rangeland management fails primarily by addressing ecological, socio-cultural, and governance dimensions in isolation rather than as interdependent parts of a unified system.
Integrating adaptive management, multi-source knowledge integration, and participatory governance systematically reinforces social-ecological resilience and collaborative decision-making.
