  1. ISSE Initiative: Integrative Science for Society and Environment Ecosystem Biotic structure rank-dominance curves, life-history traits Long-term “press” N deposition, species invasions, temperature Short-term “pulse” e.g., fire, storms Human behavior (land use) Q Q Q Community functioning 1/ 2 production, decomposition, nutrient cycling Ecosystem services food, pest/disease control, erosion control, soil fertility Q Q

  2. Overarching Question(relates to all of the arrows/questions in conceptual diagram) • How do changes in human populations and behavior, climate, biogeochemical cycles and biotic structure interact to affect and respond to ecosystem dynamics and their services to society? • How do press and pulse disturbances generate offsetting or complementary changes in ecosystem services across ecosystems?
