Coupling Human and Natural Systems for Sustainability: Experiences from China’s Loess Plateau [PDF]

open access: yesEarth 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 ...
