Foresting land use a change and its environment impact at a watershed scale

Article Abstract:

An attempt is made to forecast and assess the impact of the predicted land use changes on long-term runoff and non-point source (NPS) pollution in the Muskegon River watershed, using an environmental impact analysis model. The implications of the results for decision-making and long-term urban planning are discussed.

Carbon dynamics and land-use choices: building a regional-scale multidisciplinary model

Article Abstract:

An integrated model is built on strong empirical foundations, which can be used to generate land-use baseline and C estimates. An ecological process model parameterized using field and other data are integrated with an economic model and estimated using historical data to ensure a close link to actual behavior.

Climate change policies and capital vintage effects: the cases of US pulp and paper, iron and steel, and ethylene

Article Abstract:

An approach to improve the understanding of the dynamics of large industrial systems is presented. Engineering and economic analysis with detailed representation of an industry's capital stock structure are fused in this approach.
