Systematic evaluation of agricultural settlements on the Great Plains, employing census data and socio-ecological metabolism methods drawn from sustainability science and agro-ecology, reveals that farmers, driven by personal ambition and national incentives, not only changed their environment; they also adjusted to it in more ways than previously supposed. The "socio-ecological profiles" used in this analysis of the Great Plains are applicable to any agricultural region where governments collected the requisite census data
