Advances in Natural, Human-Made, and Coupled Human-Natural Systems Research

In particular, the chapters explore biodiversity conservation and natural resources, the sustainability of natural and human-altered ecosystems, sustainability-vulnerability issues in coupled human-natural systems, mechanisms to foster sustainable environmental practices, eventually accumulating sustainability research and practice in various fields. More than that, the challenges of educational and economic systems are studied closely. The authors relyon unique data, develop regional and local knowledge, and explore global trends at local scales. A separate focus is devoted to human health and well-being.
