Annals of the American Association of Geographers, 2014 Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are characterized by many complex features, including feedback loops, nonlinearity and thresholds, surprises, legacy effects and time lags, and resilience. Agent-based models (ABMs) are powerful for handling such

A review of the complexity approach to the study human (society)-nature interactions [PDF]
Glasnik Srpskog Geografskog Društva, 2010 Traditional approach to the study of society-nature interactions based on reductionism and linear causality is no longer fully capable of explaining complex dynamics of integrated socio-economic and natural systems. For this reason demands for complexity
