      abstract = {Agricultural bioenergy production faces dynamics such as  yield fluctuations, volatile prices,
resource competition,  new regulation and policy, innovation and climate change.  To what
extent is bioenergy production able to adapt to  changing environments and to overcome
critical events? We  investigate in detail how the agricultural bioenergy sector  in the German
State of Brandenburg adapted to diverse past  events. The analysis rests on the adaptive-cycle
concept of  HOLLING and GUNDERSON (2002a), which has been widely  applied in socialecological
systems research. Brandenburg’s  bioenergy production displays properties of a
system in the  exploitation phase, including a low potential and a high  resilience of the system
and a low connectedness within the  system. There are risks and opportunities for  bioenergy
production. Sustainable bioenergy production  requires a transition from the exploitation to  the
conservation phase. But Brandenburg’s bioenergy sector  has limited adaptive capacity and
there are certain  barriers for the agricultural bioenergy sector to overcome  potentially critical
states. Policy needs to be tailored  accordingly.},
