How do existing BES long-term data apply to the three conceptual areas?23Relate to LTER Core Areas:Primary productionFlow of inorganic matterFlow of organic matterPopulation studiesDisturbanceSatisfy Additional Core Areas for UrbanHuman land-cover change and ecosystem effects thereof;Monitor effects of human-environmental interactions, and develop appropriate social-ecological data and analysis;Integrate research with local K-12 educational systems.

How does each of the drivers relate to the other two?26How does locational choice affect:Biotic metacommunity structure and change?The stream dis/continuum structure and processes?How does the stream dis/continuum affect:Biotic metacommunity structure and change?Locational choices of households and firms?How does the biotic metacommuinty affect:The stream dis/continuum structure and processes?Locational choices of households and firms?N.B. Direct effects on each other; indirect through spatial heterogeneity.
