• Two dozen papers from a June 2003 interdisciplinary conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico synthesize the current understanding of the causes and consequences of land use change, from such perspectives as hydrology, public health, ecology, and social science. They cover the multiple ecosystem responses to land-use change; observing, forecasting, and hindcasting land-use change; and regional case studies of ecosystem interactions with land-use change. The goal is to urge decision makers to consider the full range of economic, social, and ecosystem consequences of land use change. There is no index.
