A preliminary dynamical analysis of landscapes and humans as hierarchical complex
systems suggests that strong coupling between the two that spreads to become regionally or …

Human-induced landscape change is difficult to predict due to the complexity inherent in
both geomorphic and social systems as well as due to the coupling relationships between …

Humans are increasingly altering the Earth's surface, and affecting processes that shape
and reshape landscapes. In many cases, humans are reacting to landscape-change …

This article summarizes the primary outcomes of an interdisciplinary workshop in 2010,
sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, focused on developing key questions …

Increasingly, models (and modelers) are being asked to address the interactions between
human influences, ecological processes, and landscape dynamics that impact many diverse …

This paper presents a conceptual model of land as a coupled human–environment system.
Land use and land cover are incorporated as elements of the human and environment …

The theory and practice of modeling cities and regions as complex, self-organizing systems,
presenting widely used cellular automata-based models, theoretical discussions, and …

This article identifies key questions and challenges for geomorphologists in investigating
coupled feedbacks in human–landscape systems. While feedbacks occur in the absence of …

Opportunities for sustaining humans and their environmental systems can be enhanced by
examining how socioeconomic and ecological processes are integrated at the landscape …

Integrated regional models are conceptual and mathematical models that describe the
physical environment, biological interactions, human decision-making, and human impact …
