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.
