Abstract

Increasing demands for land to deliver multiple and sometimes conflicting services to people and nature have led to the development of an extensive body of research focussed on multifunctional landscapes. However, this has created both insight and confusion, as authors from a variety of disciplines have independently tackled the question of how to manage the trade‐offs and synergies inherent in landscapes that are required to produce multiple functions and services. We employed an interdisciplinary perspective to formulate some key questions that researchers of multifunctional landscapes can use to identify blind spots. Our process resulted in a question‐based analysis support scheme that supports reflection and recursive thinking about multifunctional landscapes, beginning with objective setting and visions for addressing it, grounded in baseline mapping, then assessing landscape functions and their single and multiple interactions; as well as the analysis of sensitivity to spatial and temporal dimensions. Other key points identified are the need for clarity and examination of unstated assumptions, from aims to definitions; accounting for scale; incorporating stakeholder needs throughout the process and applying suitable methods of measurement and aggregation. The focus on asking guided questions derives from the insight that there is no universal correct approach to multifunctional landscapes; the aim should instead be to find the most appropriate methods for the given circumstances and goals. Policy implications. Tackling current and future socio‐ecological challenges is an interdisciplinary undertaking, necessitating collaborative efforts between research fields that each bring valuable and distinct insights. To effectively combat these challenges, multifunctional landscapes require a clear process and focused objective in their implementation. Multifunctionality should be seen as a means to an end, rather than an end in itself. Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

探索景观多功能性迷宫的跨学科见解
人们对土地为人类和自然提供多种服务(有时甚至是相互冲突的服务)的需求日益增长,这导致了以多功能景观为重点的大量研究的发展。然而,这既产生了洞察力,也造成了混乱,因为来自不同学科的作者都在独立解决如何管理需要产生多种功能和服务的景观中固有的权衡和协同作用的问题。我们采用了跨学科的视角来提出一些关键问题,多功能景观的研究人员可以利用这些问题来识别盲点。我们的研究过程产生了一个基于问题的分析支持计划,该计划支持对多功能景观进行反思和递归思考,首先是目标设定和解决该问题的愿景,以基线绘图为基础,然后评估景观功能及其单一和多重互动;以及分析对空间和时间维度的敏感性。确定的其他关键点包括:从目标到定义,都需要明确和审查未说明的假设;考虑规模;在整个过程中纳入利益相关者的需求,以及应用合适的测量和汇总方法。注重提出有指导性的问题源于这样一种见解,即对于多功能景观没有普遍正确的方法;相反,目标应该是找到最适合特定环境和目标的方法。应对当前和未来的社会生态挑战是一项跨学科的工作,需要各研究领域之间通力合作,各自提出有价值的独特见解。为了有效应对这些挑战,多功能景观在实施过程中需要有明确的程序和重点目标。多功能性应被视为达到目的的一种手段,而不是目的本身。
