Explanation and Intervention in Coupled Human and Natural Systems
2013“Coupled human and natural systems” (CHANS) has emerged within the last two decades as a designation for interdisciplinary research focused on complex interactions between human activities and ecosystems. I examine CHANS from a manipulation approach to explanation advocated by Jim Woodward, according to which causal generalizations are distinguished by

Fuzzy Adaptive Management of Coupled Natural and Human Systems
2016Abstract A fuzzy logic-based, adaptive management (FLAM) model is developed that allows managers of coupled natural and human systems to determine preferred management actions over time when they are uncertain about the extent of future climate change and system responses to climate change and management actions.

Simulating Forest Landscape Disturbances as Coupled Human and Natural Systems
2015Anthropogenic disturbances resulting from human land use affect forest landscapes over a range of spatial and temporal scales, with diverse influences on vegetation patterns and dynamics. These processes fall within the scope of the coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) concept, which has emerged as an important framework for understanding the ...

Spatial explicit management for the water sustainability of coupled human and natural systems
Environmental Pollution, 2019Linking water to research on coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) has attracted wide interest as a means of supporting human-natural sustainability. However, most current research does not focus on water environmental properties; instead, it is at the stage of holistic status assessment and measures adjustment from the point of view of the whole ...

Modeling Coupled Human–Natural Systems of Pastoralism in East Africa
2016Sustainability science studies the drivers of change that alter natural and human systems now and into the future. Systems with natural and human components (coupled systems) may be resilient or nonresilient to these changes. Our focus is on rangelands of East Africa, where drivers of change include rapid population growth, poverty, degraded rangelands,
