0083325KleppelSuburbanization, the conversion of native forest, range and farmland to infrastructure intensive, ecologically simplified landscapes, is currently consuming enormous amounts of land, with generally negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. The process, however, creates a complex feed back system that results in rapid and significant increases in stress on human social and economic systems. This Biocomplexity incubation award will allow this group to (1) develop mechanisms to facilitate communication between collaborative disciplines by defining key variables and parameters, and critical linkages among natural and social forcing functions, (2) identify existing data and resources, and (3) explore possible modeling, model analysis and interpretive approaches to link the dynamics of social and natural systems in response to suburbanization

0083325 Kleppel郊区化，将原生森林、牧场和农田转变为基础设施密集型、生态简化型景观，目前正在消耗大量土地，对生物多样性和生态系统完整性产生普遍负面影响。然而，这一过程创造了一个复杂的反馈系统，导致人类社会和经济系统的压力迅速和显著增加。该生物复杂性孵化奖将使该小组能够（1）通过定义关键变量和参数以及自然和社会强迫函数之间的关键联系，开发促进合作学科之间交流的机制，（2）确定现有数据和资源，（3）探索可能的建模，模型分析和解释方法，以联系社会和自然系统的动态，以应对郊区化
