Abstract: | A regional landscape is a complex social–ecological system comprising a dynamic mosaic of land uses. Management at this scale requires an understanding of the myriad interacting human and natural processes operating on the landscape over a continuum of spatial and temporal scales.Complexity science, which is not part of traditional management approaches, provides a valuable conceptual framework and quantitative tools for dealing with cross-scale interactions and non-linear dynamics in social–ecological systems. Here, we identify concepts and actions arising from complexity science that can be learned and applied by ecosystem managers and discuss how they might be implemented to achieve sustainable future landscapes. |
