Research Questions/Tópicos de Investigación Is population growth (urban and rural) predictable? If so, what are the effects on ecosystems? How does one quantify ecosystem services, e.g. biodiversity, endangered species, wildlife habitat, water quality/quantity, carbon sinks, soil fertility? Further investigate the linkages between air quality and human health.
