authored by

Abstract

Landscapes provide a broad range of ecosystem services that are crucial for many aspects of human well-being. However, this provision is increasingly under threat from a variety of economic, social and environmental changes. Many of these are manifested in unsustainable land uses. Integrative and proactive environmental planning is needed to address these challenges and can be achieved by combining the conceptual strengths of the ecosystem services approach with the practical and implementation-orientated focus of landscape planning.
