A cyclical wildfire pattern as the outcome of a coupled human natural system
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractOver the past decades, wildfire has imposed a considerable cost on natural resources and human lives. In many regions, annual wildfire trends show puzzling oscillatory patterns with increasing amplitudes for burned areas over time. This paper aims to examine the potential causes of such patterns by developing and examining a dynamic simulation ...

Storm impacts on a coupled human-natural coastal system: Resilience of developed coasts [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2021 Human occupation of and alteration of the world's coast has transformed large stretches of it into Coupled Human-Natural Systems (CHANS) in which humans both influence and are influenced by coastal evolution. In such systems, human activity is as critical on natural resilience as processes and sediment supply derived from the natural setting.

Examining fire-prone forest landscapes as coupled human and natural systems
Ecology and Society, 2014 Fire-prone landscapes are not well studied as coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) and present many challenges for understanding and promoting adaptive behaviors and institutions.

Biocomplexity in Coupled Natural–Human Systems: A Multidimensional Framework [PDF]
Ecosystems, 2005 As defined by Ascher, biocomplexity results from a “multiplicity of interconnected relationships and levels.” However, no integrative framework yet exists to facilitate the application of this concept to coupled human–natural systems. Indeed, the term “biocomplexity” is still used primarily as a creative and provocative metaphor.

Modelling feedbacks between human and natural processes in the land system [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2018 The unprecedented use of Earth's resources by humans, in combination with increasing natural variability in natural processes over the past century, is affecting the evolution of the Earth system.

Exploratory modeling for analyzing coupled human-natural systems under uncertainty
, 2020 Modeling is a crucial approach for understanding the past and exploring the future of coupled human-natural systems. However, uncertainty in various forms challenges inferences from modeling results.

Understanding coupled human and natural systems in a changing world [PDF]
Frontiers of Earth Science in China, 2010 It is now widely accepted that global change and human disturbances, such as global warming, economic globalization, population growth, and government policy changes are putting great pressures on the ecoenvironment worldwide. The impacts of land degradation, soil erosion, air and water pollution, biodiversity loss, and increased greenhouse gas ...
