This article provides an overview of the CHANS approach. -
Temporal transferability of wildlife habitat models: implications for habitat monitoring
Published on March 31, 2011
This study provides useful guidance for habitat monitoring through the integration of remote sensing technology and habitat modelling, which may be useful for the conservation of the giant panda and many other species. -
Effects of attitudinal and sociodemographic factors on pro-environmental behaviour in urban China
Published on January 18, 2011
This study addresses this need by modelling the sociodemographic and attitudinal factors predicting pro-environmental behaviour in urban China. -
Two from China

Views of Private-Land Stewardship among Latinos on the Texas-Tamaulipas Border
Published on December 4, 2010
We used a case study in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas to address this gap by identifying and assessing Latino views of PLS. -
China's Environmental Challenges and Implications for the World
Published on October 7, 2010
As the world’s most populous country with the fastest-growing major economy, China is crucial in shaping the course toward global environmental sustainability -
Effects of Natural Disasters on Conservation Policies: The Case of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, China
Published on September 27, 2010
Through an analysis of satellite imagery and field data we evaluated the impacts of a devastating earthquake on forest recovery and avoided forest loss estimated to have been obtained by two of the largest conservation programs in the world. -
An Integration of Habitat Evaluation, Individual Based Modeling, and Graph Theory for a Potential Black Bear Population Recovery in Southeastern Texas, USA
Published on September 25, 2010
Our objective was to evaluate habitat for a possible Louisiana black bear recovery in southeastern Texas. -
Sustainability: A Household Word
Published on July 30, 2010
In contrast to Peters et al., I maintain that the direct and indirect impacts of households on the environment are important and deserve much more attention. -
The impact of giant panda foraging on bamboo dynamics in an isolated environment
Published on June 29, 2010
We conducted an experiment to characterize the impact of panda foraging on the sustainability of its food resource, bamboo, in an enclosed area of natural habitat. -
Long-term effects of family planning and other determinants of fertility on population and Environment: Agent-Based Modeling Evidence from Wolong Nature Reserve, China
Published on May 19, 2010
Using data from Wolong Nature Reserve for the conservation of the world-famous giant pandas in China, we employ a spatially explicit agent-based model to simulate how family-planning and other fertility-related decisions may affect human population. -
Tribal and State Ecosystem Management Regimes Influence Forest Regeneration
Published on May 18, 2010
We studied northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) regeneration on neighboring tribal and state forests where socio-cultural differences have led to distinct hunting management practices and subsequent differences in wildlife-plant interactions. -
Range-wide analysis of wildlife habitat: Implications for conservation
Published on April 25, 2010
We evaluated the status and spatial distribution of the habitat of the endangered giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) across its entire geographic range by integrating field and remotely sensed data to develop a habitat distribution model. -
China's Road to Sustainability
Published on April 2, 2010
Although China has achieved exceptional economic growth and has endeavored to protect the environment since its founding in 1949, it ranked 133rd among 146 countries assessed for environmental sustainability in 2005 -

Mapping understory vegetation using phenological characteristics derived from remotely sensed data
Published on March 17, 2010
Understory vegetation is an important component in forest ecosystems not only because of its contributions to forest structure, function and species composition, but also due to its essential role in supporting wildlife species and ecosystem services. -
Using cost-effective targeting to enhance the efficiency of conservation investments in payments for ecosystem services.
Published on March 10, 2010
Our results suggest that cost-effective targeting of land through the use of discriminative conservation payments can substantially improve the efficiency of investments in the Grain-to-Green program and other payment for ecosystem services programs. -
