This page will present the Editors' selections of examples of integrated studies, chosen to illustrate a diversity of systems and approaches. It is a new page and the present lack of content will change over time as additional studies are nominated. Nominations for studies to include on this page are welcome and should be submitted to the Managing Editor. Nominations should include the title of the study, references to papers and URLs for web sites with additional relevant information, contact information, and a concise yet detailed description of the case study (400 words or less) that includes: a description of the locale, place- or activity-based chain, and the sustainability issues presented by the case, including differences in the interests of major stakeholders; a synthesis of what is known about how human activities have affected development needs and opportunities, ecosystems, environmental conditions, and vice versa (how environmental conditions and ecosystem services constrain or encourage development); a critical review of the role of research-based knowledge in response thus far (either institutional, technological, or in management practices); and critical commentary on the main lessons from this illustrative case study regarding how to approach, design, and implement an integrated study.

There is currently only 1 Integrated Study referenced in the Forum. Obviously this indicates a need to grow this content area as soon as possible. Please nominate appropriate studies to include on these pages, and likewise indicate what constitutes an integrated sustainability study from your perspective. Please submit nominations to the Managing Editor via email at . Nominations should include a full citation, a statement of 100 words or less of what the study has to offer to the sustainability science community, and if possible an electronic copy of the publication.
