Show full item recordAbstract
"Competing demands for land and water resources challenge decision processes in many urbanizing agricultural areas of the Upper Midwest, including the Yahara watershed of Dane County, Wisconsin. Rising precipitation, increasingly intense storms, and warming winters further stress land and water resources. We organized scientists, artists, storytellers, and local people to co-create alternative scenarios of future development and compared the outcomes of each scenario (https://wsc.limnology.wisc.edu/). Resilience to coming changes depends on expanding the area of natural prairie, savanna, and forest and ongoing conversation, storytelling, art, and scientific modeling of emerging futures.
