"Understanding the complex relationships between humans and the natural world is essential for achieving environmental sustainability and improving human well-being, yet many studies are unable to reveal complex interactions and hidden trends. This is the first book to synthesize the findings and approaches of long-term integrated research in a model coupled human and natural system, and to illustrate their applications to regional, nati ..."
"Source-sink theories provide a simple yet powerful framework for understanding how the patterns, processes and dynamics of ecological systems vary and interact over space and time. Integrating multiple research fields, including population biology and landscape ecology, this book presents the latest advances in source-sink theories, methods and applications in the conservation and management of natural resources and biodiversity. The in ..."

"where rOi is log maximum per capita fecundity, opti is the optimum pH for species
i, pHx,y is the assigned pH of grid cell x,y. Niche width (wi) is defined as the mean
square deviation (variance) of the fecundity curve for ... random variable with
parameter pDi and order Si,x,y,t. For simplicity, dispersal is assumed to occur
only between adjacent cells and pDi is the fraction of all seeds produced on a
focal cell that disperse to ..."
