Information and entropy theory for the sustainability of coupled human and natural systems
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 ...
