Integrated Systems Analysis of Ecosystems

Integrated Systems Analysis of Ecosystems: The Land, Water, Food, and Climate Nexus focuses on the interface between soil sciences, hydrology, economy, ecology, agronomy, and environmental sciences. The book cuts across disciplinary boundaries and addresses broad issues impacting soil, water, food, and energy security, as well as the operation of agricultural and ecological processes. It will summarize important advances in cutting-edge models in ecology and agro-ecology, including biophysical process-oriented models and land use integrated models, along with their implications at various spatiotemporal scales.
- Summarizes important advances in cutting-edge models in ecology and agro-ecology and their implications at various spatiotemporal scales
- Includes important perspectives to promote the development of multidisciplinary integrated modeling platforms, elucidating the interacting laws of physics and economic/ecological principles and linking resources (land and water), food, energy, and climate at their nexus
- Focuses on the water–food–energy nexus and related ecological research using a systems analytical approach and applications
- Provides vital information to support policymakers and improve decision-making
