Coupled human and natural systems.
Humans have continuously interacted with natural systems, resulting in the formation and development of coupled human and natural systems (CHANS). Recent studies reveal the complexity of organizational, spatial, and temporal couplings of CHANS. These couplings have evolved from direct to more indirect interactions, from adjacent to more distant linkages, from local to global scales, and from si...
متن کاملComplexity of coupled human and natural systems.
Integrated studies of coupled human and natural systems reveal new and complex patterns and processes not evident when studied by social or natural scientists separately. Synthesis of six case studies from around the world shows that couplings between human and natural systems vary across space, time, and organizational units. They also exhibit nonlinear dynamics with thresholds, reciprocal fee...
متن کاملUnderstanding human decisions in coupled natural and human systems
Global human population increased exponentially during the ast 200 hundred years (Vitousek, 1994), and very soon the earth ill be home to over seven billion people (U.S. Census Bureau, 011). Human activity reshapes the environment to such a degree hat rarely, if ever, do pure or “pristine” ecosystems remain immune rom human impact (Dompka, 1996; Vitousek et al., 1997). Humans ppropriate up to 4...
متن کاملCoupled human and natural systems: A multi-agent-based approach
A major force affecting many forest ecosystems is the encroachment of residential, commercial and industrial development. Analysis of the complex interactions between development decisions and ecosystems, and how the environmental consequences of these decisions influence human values and subsequent decisions will lead to a better understanding of the environmental consequences of private choic...
