The interactions between human population dynamics and the environment have often been viewed mechanistically. This review elucidates the complexities and contextual specificities of population-environment relationships in a number of domains. It explores the ways in which demographers and other social scientists have sought to understand the relationships among a full range of population dynamics (e.g., population size, growth, density, age and sex composition, migration, urbanization, vital rates) and environmental changes. The chapter briefly reviews a number of the theories for understanding population and the environment and then proceeds to provide a state-of-the-art review of studies that have examined population dynamics and their relationship to five environmental issue areas. The review concludes by relating population-environment research to emerging work on human-environment systems.
人类人口动态与环境之间的相互作用常常被机械地看待。本综述阐明了多个领域中人口与环境关系的复杂性和背景特殊性。它探讨了人口学家和其他社会科学家试图理解一系列人口动态（如人口规模、增长、密度、年龄和性别构成、迁移、城市化、生命率）与环境变化之间关系的方式。本章简要回顾了一些理解人口与环境的理论，然后对研究人口动态及其与五个环境问题领域关系的前沿研究进行综述。综述最后将人口与环境研究与人类-环境系统的新兴研究联系起来。
