SUMMARY:W3 Seminar: Coupling natural and human models in the context of a l
 ake ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Weizhe Weng\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Food and Reso
 urce Economics\, UF \n\nAbstract: \n\nLakes support a myriad of ecosystem 
 services that benefit humans and have quantifiable economic effects\, incl
 uding the provisioning of drinking water and recreational activities. Thes
 e services can be compromised by poor water quality\, which commonly occur
 s when lakes are impacted by excessive nutrient inputs from nonpoint sourc
 e pollution such as phosphorus and nitrogen from agricultural runoff. Give
 n the importance of the coupling between people and freshwater lakes\, it 
 is essential to create an integrated\, multi-disciplinary tool that captur
 es the reciprocal linkages between people and freshwater systems: human ac
 tions affect ecosystems\, which in turn affect human well-being and future
  behavior. Using Lake Mendota (Madison\, Wisconsin\, USA) as a case study\
 , we developed a novel\, coupled natural and human systems (CNHS) model th
 at captures how land-use decision making interacts with hydrological and l
 imnological processes to transform nutrient loads into changes in lake wat
 er quality\, and how altered water quality feeds back to human systems by 
 affecting the amenities that people value. In this talk\, I will describe 
 the details of the CNHS modeling framework and the insights to advance lak
 e management efforts to protect and improve water quality.
