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.

Detection and attribution of climate change impacts in coupled natural-human systems in the Andes [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentMountain regions are among the most sensitive and vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change. In this study, we systematically assess the observed impacts of climate change in the Andes and use expert review and model-based methods to identify the role ...

Information and entropy theory for the sustainability of coupled human and natural systems [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2014 For coupled human and natural systems (CHANS), sustainability can be defined operationally as a feasible, desirable set of flows (material, currency, information, energy, individuals, etc.) that can be maintained despite internal changes and changes in ...

Bushfire Smoke: An Exemplar of Coupled Human and Natural Systems
Geographical Research, 2013 AbstractCarbon‐based microscopic particles have provided a crucial line of evidence in understanding the coupling between humans and fires. Through the sedimentary record, they have informed our understandings of the patterns of climate and humans on fire activity through time. The extent of contemporary atmospheric biomass burning emissions has become

Reflooding the coupled human and natural system of the Waza-Logone Floodplain, Cameroon
Frontiers in Conservation ScienceThe rewilding framework is used to guide the restoration of ecological processes in natural systems, but the framework can also be used in the restoration of social and ecological processes in coupled human and natural systems.
