基于主体的土地利用/土地覆盖变化模型（ABMs/LUCC）传统上将土地利用/土地覆盖变化描述为由社会、经济和人口条件引起的，而空间生态模型则倾向于模拟空间聚集的人类决策对环境的影响。将生态系统过程的动态表示纳入ABM/LUCC中，可以获得新的或反直觉的见解，了解为什么会出现某些路径相关的结果，并且还可以在空间上限制模型过程，从而提高模型输出与观测数据的空间拟合度。因此，提供了一个框架，以帮助确定一个最佳的方法来代表生态过程中的ABM/LUCC根据研究问题和所需的应用模型。相关的挑战，限制了复杂的，动态的生态系统过程的表示到ABMs/LUCC的整合，然后进行评估，从最近的例子提供的解决方案。ABMs/LUCC使用的生态过程的动态表示，可以应用于调查复杂的，长期的人-自然耦合系统的各种气候变化和生态干扰的响应。
Agent-based models of land use and cover change (ABMs/LUCC) have traditionally represented land-use and land-cover changes as arising from social, economic and demographic conditions, while spatial ecological models have tended to simulate the environmental impacts of spatially aggregated human decisions. Incorporating a dynamic representation of ecosystem processes into ABMs/LUCC can enable new or counter-intuitive insights to be gained into why certain path-dependent outcomes arise and can also spatially constrain model processes, thereby improving the spatial fit of model output against observational data. A framework is therefore provided to assist in determining an optimal approach for representing ecological processes in an ABM/LUCC according to the research question and desired application of the model. Relevant challenges limiting the integration of complex, dynamic representations of ecosystem processes into ABMs/LUCC are then assessed, with solutions provided from recent examples. ABMs/LUCC that use a dynamic representation of ecological processes may be applied to investigate the complex, long-term responses of the coupled human–natural system to a variety of climatic shifts and ecological disturbances.
