Coupled human and natural systems approach to wildlife research and conservation [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2014 Conserving wildlife while simultaneously meeting the resource needs of a growing human population is a major sustainability challenge. As such, using combined social and environmental perspectives to understand how people and wildlife are interlinked ...

Top 40 questions in coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) research [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2017 Understanding and managing coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) is a central challenge of the 21st century, but more focus is needed to pursue the most important questions within this vast field given limited research capacity and funding.

Challenges and opportunities for modeling coupled human and natural systems. [PDF]
Natl Sci Rev, 2023 With the growing recognition of coupled human and natural systems (CHANS), modeling CHANS with two-way feedbacks has become a frontier research area and a critical tool to achieve sustainability. The challenges in CHANS modeling and opportunities to advance its science and application to promote the sustainability of CHANS are discussed in this paper.

A conceptual framework to evaluate human-wildlife interactions within coupled human and natural systems [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2014 Landscape characteristics affect human-wildlife interactions. However, there is a need to better understand mechanisms that drive those interactions, particularly feedbacks that exist between wildlife-related impacts, human reaction to and behavior as a

Causal inference in coupled human and natural systems. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are complex, dynamic, interconnected systems with feedback across social and environmental dimensions. This feedback leads to formidable challenges for causal inference. Two significant challenges involve assumptions about excludability and the absence of interference.

Complexity of Coupled Human and Natural Systems [PDF]
Science, 2007 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.

Coupling Human and Natural Systems for Sustainability: Experiences from China’s Loess Plateau [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2022 Abstract. Addressing the sustainability challenges facing humanity in the Anthropocene requires the coupling of human and natural systems, rather than their separate treatment. To understand the dynamics of a coupled human and natural system (CHANS) and promote its sustainability, we proposed a conceptual cascade framework of “Pattern-Process-Service ...

How coupled is coupled human-natural systems research?
Ecology and Society, 2022 Interdisciplinary research that links human and natural systems is critical to addressing complex environmental and ecological problems. A growing number of interdisciplinary research teams investigate coupled natural-human systems, but the degree to ...
