"Social connections among individuals are essential components of social-ecological systems (SESs), enabling people to take actions to more effectively adapt or transform in response to widespread social-ecological change. Although scholars have associated social connections and cognitions with adaptive capacity, measuring actors' social networks may further clarify pathways for bolstering resilience-enhancing actions. We asked how social networks and socio-cognitions, as components of adaptive capacity, and SES regime shift severity affect individual landscape management behaviours using a quantitative analysis of ego network survey data from livestock producers and landcover data on regime shift severity (i.e. juniper encroachment) in the North American Great Plains. Producers who experienced severe regime shifts or perceived high risks from such shifts were not more likely to engage in transformative behaviour like prescribed burning. Instead, we found that social network characteristics explained significant variance in transformative behaviours. Policy implications: Our results indicate that social networks enable behaviours that have the potential to transform SESs, suggesting possible leverage points for enabling capacity and coordination toward sustainability. Particularly where private lands dominate and cultural practices condition regime shifts, clarifying how social connections promote resilience may provide much needed insight to bolster adaptive capacities in the face of global change. Major findings: This research explores how social networks and individual beliefs influence land management behaviors among livestock producers in the North American Great Plains. The study found that social networks are significantly more effective at predicting "transformative" behaviors—such as prescribed burning—than the actual ecological condition of the land. While "adaptive" behaviors like mechanical tree removal are often triggered by observing physical changes in the environment (regime shifts), major transformative actions depend heavily on the social support, information access, and trust provided by an individual's community and professional connections. These findings highlight that social constraints often limit environmental management more than a lack of information about ecological risks."
