Semi-natural linear landscape elements, such as hedgerows, are vital structures within
agricultural landscapes that have an impact on ecosystem processes and support …

Background The models currently used to predict post-fire soil erosion risks are limited by
high data demands and long computation times. An alternative is to map the potential …

We integrate a model that simulates biophysical processes in soils and water with spatial
and temporal heterogeneity at the basin scale with an economic model of decisions under …

This research integrates for the first time in a South American basin, the San Salvador basin
located in Uruguay, a biophysical model which simulates water quality and crop yields with …

This dissertation presents an analysis of the environmental and economic impacts of land
use decisions in the Massachusetts (MA) cranberry industry. Cranberry farming is culturally …

This chapter focuses on detailing the model and a range of boundaries are explored
individually. While the issues are outlined, the focus is on creating an economic approach to …

Riverine ecosystems supply humans with a variety of ecosystem services (ESs), but
anthropogenic activities endanger their availability worldwide. Understanding the …

We implement an integrated economic and biophysical model capable of assessing diverse
scenarios of farm and water management practices at a basin scale. We show an …

Value added decision making allows for preferences to be quantified in such a way that
alternatives can be created based on the objectives of a stakeholder. In lieu of an …
