Tangled problems, tacit frames
Globally, drought poses a critical threat to forest ecosystems, with increasingly severe, compounding impacts that transform these ecosystems and their management. U.S. state and federal forest management professionals face challenges in planning for and proactively adapting to drought risk; this paper explores the social and institutional barriers and opportunities they encounter. We use framing analysis to examine the rules and norms that influ…
Generative AI text-to-image for community participation in landscape planning
Generative AI text-to-image tools are increasingly used for community engagement. • We propose a new approach of integrating generative AI text-to-image tools in the process of participatory design. • We compromise the pace of translating participatory discussions into images, balancing between real-time approaches and extended periods. • This approach involves using ‘controlled imperfect’ generative images. • We collect keywords during the parti…
Safer to plant corn and beans”? Navigating the challenges and opportunities of agricultural diversification in the U.S. Corn Belt
Agricultural diversification in the Midwestern Corn Belt has the potential to improve socioeconomic and environmental outcomes by buffering farmers from environmental and economic shocks and improving soil, water, and air quality. However, complex barriers related to agricultural markets, individual behavior, social norms, and government policy constrain diversification in this region. This study examines farmer perspectives regarding the challen…
Green roles at home
Understanding the relationship between land tenure and conservation behavior
Environmental Decision-Making Shaped by the Home
Research on environmentally consequential human decision-making often begins from the premise that consumption decisions are motivated by individual values. However, we argue that social science research aiming to understand consumer decision-making will benefit from integrating the lived experiences of people in households, where decisions are often influenced or mitigated by the presence of those who share homes. Conducting research on consumpt…

A Typology of Catalyst Events for Collaborative Watershed Management in the United States
While much has been written about the benefits of collaborative watershed management to address nonpoint source pollution and other water quality concerns in the United States, few scholars have addressed the catalytic nature of events that generate these collective action responses. Further, because equivalent catalyst events in different communities do not always lead to collective action, it is critical to understand the interaction between a …
Why farmers adopt best management practice in the United States
It's Who You Know
Social capital, usually conceptualized as trusting relationships among members of a group, is often discussed as playing an important role in watershed groups. This study is grounded in the social networks conceptualization of social capital and seeks to identify how access to social resources aids in achieving watershed group outcomes. Three comparative cases along a rural–urban continuum in the Midwest were studied using qualitative in-depth in…
