We develop an integrated model to predict private land-use decisions in response to policy
incentives designed to increase the provision of carbon sequestration and species …

This paper discusses both the opportunities for and the challenges associated with
integrating economics and ecology in the study of ecosystem services. We distinguish …

Much of the remaining grassland, particularly in North America, is privately owned, and its
conversion to cultivated cropland is largely driven by economics. An understanding of why …

Many ecosystem services are public goods whose provision depends on the spatial pattern
of land use. The pattern of land use is often determined by the decisions of multiple private …

Land‐use change significantly contributes to biodiversity loss, invasive species spread,
changes in biogeochemical cycles, and the loss of ecosystem services. Planning for a …

We review the usefulness of urban spatial economic models of land use change for the
study and policy analysis of spatial land use–environment interactions. We find that …

Land-use systems are characterized by complex interactions between human decision-
makers and their biophysical environment. Mismatches between the scale of human drivers …

This paper presents an empirical analysis of major drivers of land use change in China from
1988 to 2005. We compile a geographic information system database and develop a new …

This paper examines spatial spillovers associated with the adoption of organic dairy farming.
We hypothesize that neighboring farmers can help to reduce the uncertainty of organic …

Connected habitats are ecologically more valuable than isolated habitats for many species.
A key challenge when designing payments for biodiversity in fragmented landscapes is to …
