Dynamics of Coupled Natural AND Human Systems You can only ignore one word in the ;tle!
This project asks: How will climate change, together with changing market and policy environments, affect land use pa9erns at various scales in the central U.S.? How will this change the geography of agricultural produc?on? Will climate change expand or diminish the agricultural produc?on and ecosystem service genera?on capaci?es of mesoscale watersheds representa?ve of Farm Resource Regions?
