The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR), encompassing most of the Northern Great Plains, once was one of the largest grasslandwetland ecosystems on earth. The ecological makeup of the region provides essential habitat for an array of wildlife, most notably migratory waterfowl. The ecosystem also provides necessary inputs for agricultural production, which has become the dominant land use over the last century. Both perennial habitat lands and agricultural lands retain importance economically, socially, and culturally. New land-use dynamics have come into play with expansion of oil and gas production. The economic influences of production land uses, such as agriculture and energy development, typically are better understood than is the influence of lands in conserved natural habitat. Nonetheless, perennial habitat lands certainly have environmental and economic influence, along with linkages to various aspects of rural community well-being. Research reported here focuses on those land-use dynamics and attempts to illuminate how economic variables and rural development in the PPR might be influenced as land uses change. Policy makers and land managers constantly are faced with decisions regarding land use, and they need information regarding the impacts of their decisions. Purpose
