The PEOPLE 3000 working group focuses on integrating archaeological and paleoecological case studies with mathematical modeling. We seek to understand how coevolving human societies and ecosystems can successfully cope with the interrelated forces of population growth, increasing social complexity and climate change, and the diversity of trajectories of reorganization that social-ecological systems follow. Our work focuses on the observation that human societies experienced periods of social and economic development followed by major reorganizations throughout the Holocene. Thus, we are investigating explanations for what appears to be widespread and, potentially, climate-driven patterns.
PEOPLE 3000工作组专注于将考古和古生态案例研究与数学建模相结合。我们试图了解共同进化的人类社会和生态系统如何成功应对人口增长、社会复杂性增加和气候变化等相互关联的力量,以及社会生态系统所遵循的重组轨迹的多样性。我们的工作重点是观察人类社会经历了社会和经济发展时期,随后在整个全新世进行了重大重组。因此,我们正在调查似乎普遍存在的、潜在的气候驱动模式的解释。

Paleobiology is a classic example of a ‘longtail’ discipline, with the large majority of paleobiological data collected by individuals organized into tight guilds of specialists. Most paleobiologists have a domain of expertise centered on a particular set of organisms (or even on particular fossilized body parts within organisms), a geographic region, and a time period or timescale. For example, one paleobiologist might be an expert on leaves and seeds from the Paleogene of North America (leaving the fossil pollen and other microfossils to other specialists) (e.g. Wing et al. 2009), another might specialize in stable isotope measurements from bones and teeth (e.g. DeSantis et al. 2009), while a third might be a specialist in marine foraminifera, working with oceansediment cores collected from across the world (e.g. barker et al. 2005). These scientists also pursue varied research agendas, both as individuals and research teams.
古生物学是“长尾”学科的典型例子,大部分古生物学数据都是由组织严密的专家行会的个人收集的。大多数古生物学家都有一个专门领域,集中在一组特定的生物(甚至是生物体内特定的化石身体部位)、一个地理区域和一个时间段或时间尺度上。例如,一位古生物学家可能是研究北美古近系树叶和种子的专家(将花粉化石和其他微化石留给其他专家)(例如Wing et al. 2009),另一位可能专门研究骨骼和牙齿的稳定同位素测量(例如DeSantis et al. 2009),而第三位可能是研究海洋有孔虫的专家,研究从世界各地收集的海洋沉积物岩心(例如barker et al. 2005)。这些科学家也追求不同的研究议程,无论是作为个人还是研究团队。

Patterns of fire are changing across African savannahs, rainforests, fynbos, woodlands, and Afroalpine and montane forests, with direct environmental and socio-ecological consequences. Fire variability has implications for biodiversity (Beale et al. 2018), vegetation patterns, grazing quality, carbon emissions, protected area management, and landscape heterogeneity. Fire is a crucial component of savannah functioning and structure and is essential for maintaining its biodiversity. Long-term records are key to understanding drivers of fire variability and contextualize recent and ongoing land-use changes that altered fire responses to climate and vegetation changes (e.g. Ekblom and Gillson 2010, Colombaroli et al. 2014). As indigenous forest loss continues and modification through selective harvesting and land-use encroachment accelerate forest changes, the importance of historical disturbance regimes is increasingly relevant for assessing past ranges of variability and to define management targets that support more resilient socioecological systems (Whitlock et al. 2018). But how can the research community engage and integrate with land-management practitioners and policy developers? And how can we promote knowledge transfer and collaborative capacity between the international community and the next generation of African scientists?
非洲大草原、热带雨林、芬博斯、林地以及非洲高山和山地森林的火灾模式正在发生变化,产生了直接的环境和社会生态后果。火灾变异性对生物多样性(Beale et al. 2018)、植被模式、放牧质量、碳排放、保护区管理和景观异质性都有影响。火是草原功能和结构的重要组成部分,对维持其生物多样性至关重要。长期记录是了解火灾变率驱动因素的关键,并将近期和正在进行的土地利用变化背景化,这些变化会改变火灾对气候和植被变化的响应(例如Ekblom和Gillson 2010, Colombaroli等人2014)。随着原生森林的持续损失,以及选择性采伐和土地利用侵占导致的改变加速了森林变化,历史干扰制度对于评估过去的变异性范围和确定支持更具弹性的社会生态系统的管理目标的重要性日益重要(Whitlock et al. 2018)。但是,研究界如何与土地管理实践者和政策制定者进行接触和整合呢?我们怎样才能促进国际社会和下一代非洲科学家之间的知识转移和合作能力?
