Space versus place in complex human–natural systems: Spatial and multi-level models of tropical land use and cover change (LUCC) in Guatemala
Published on June 20, 2012
The relative role of space and place has long been debated in geography. Yet modeling efforts applied to coupled human–natural systems seemingly favor models assuming continuous spatial relationships. We examine the relative importance of place-ba... -
Modeling human decisions in coupled human and natural systems: Review of agent-based models
Published on June 20, 2012
Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) manifest various complexities such as heterogeneity, nonlinearity, feedback, and emergence. Humans play a critical role in affecting such systems and in giving rise to various environmental consequences, w... -
Agent-based modeling of the effects of social norms on enrollment in payments for ecosystem services
Published on June 20, 2012
In this paper, we developed an agent-based simulation model to demonstrate the evolution and impacts of social norms on the enrollment of agricultural land in a PES program. -

The role of landscape connectivity in planning and implementing conservation and restoration priorities
Published on June 11, 2012
Landscape connectivity, the extent to which a landscape facilitates the movements of organisms and their genes, faces critical threats from both fragmentation and habitat loss. Many conservation efforts focus on protecting and enhancing connectivity ... -
Human drivers of national greenhouse-gas emissions
Published on June 11, 2012
Centuries of speculation about the causes of human stress on the environment is now being disciplined with empirical evidence, including analyses of differences in greenhouse-gas emissions across contemporary nation states. -
A survey of gastrointestinal parasites of olive baboons (Papio anubis) in human settlement areas of Mole National Park, Ghana.
Published on June 11, 2012
Fecal samples from 55 free-ranging olive baboons (Papio anubis) in Mole National Park, Ghana, were collected 22 June–7 July 2008 and analyzed for gastrointestinal parasites. This is the first survey of baboon gastrointestinal parasites in Ghana an... -
Inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to population-environment research for sustainability aims: a review and appraisal
Published on June 8, 2012
The causes and consequences of demographic changes for the environment, and the possible ways of influencing population dynamics to achieve ‘sustainability’, have been the subject of many debates in science and policy in recent decades. However, the ... -
Weak Ties, Labor Migration, and Environmental Impacts : Toward a Sociology of Sustainability
Published on May 23, 2012
Debate about the substitutability of manufactured, natural, human, and social capital is at the -
Ancient DNA reveals genetic stability despite demographic decline: three thousand years of population genetic history in the endemic Hawaiian petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis)
Published on May 10, 2012
In the Hawaiian Islands, human colonization, which began approximately 1,200 to 800 years ago, marks the beginning of a period in which nearly 75% of the endemic avifauna became extinct and the population size and range of many additional species dec... -
Population divergence and gene flow in an endangered and highly mobile seabird
Published on May 10, 2012
Seabirds are highly vagile and can disperse up to thousands of kilometers, making it difficult to identify the factors that promote isolation between populations. The endemic Hawaiian petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis) is one such species. Today it is... -

Drivers and Socioeconomic Impacts of Tourism Participation in Protected Areas
Published on April 30, 2012
Nature-based tourism has the potential to enhance global biodiversity conservation by providing alternative livelihood strategies for local people, which may alleviate poverty in and around protected areas. Despite the popularity of the concept of na... -
Perception And Decisions In Modeling Coupled Human And Natural Systems: A Case Study From Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve, China
Published on April 18, 2012
Modeling human-environment systems presents many challenges, including incorporating structure and agency and addressing uncertainty in system components and relationships. Exploring perceptions not only gives us insight into decision-making (agency)... -

Relationship between floristic similarity and vegetated land surface phenology: Implications for the synoptic monitoring of species diversity at broad geographic regions
Published on March 23, 2012
Assessing species composition and its changes through time across broad geographic regions is time consuming and a difficult endeavor. The synoptic view provided by imaging remote sensors offers an alternative. But while many studies have developed p... -
Analysis of bioenergy potential in the rural landscape of the Overijssel province using energy efficiency indices
Published on February 28, 2012
The use of available land and its suitability for bioenergy plantation as a measure of bioenergy potential under an SEA framework is inadequate; the inclusion of non-energy cropping options like farm, domestic and industrial waste etc. gives a wider ... -
Decoupling of deforestation and soy production in the southern Amazon during the late 2000s
Published on February 23, 2012
From 2006 to 2010, deforestation in the Amazon frontier state of Mato Grosso decreased to 30% of its historical average (1996–2005) whereas agricultural production reached an all-time high. This study combines satellite data with government...
