Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to present some views on the management of landscape change in forest landscapes from the perspectives of ecological integrity and management regimes, using a transdisciplinary approach. This gives us an opportunity to describe the practice of various management regimes and discuss future management strategies. the presentation is based on the project The Battlefield of Regimes, financially supported by the Research Council of Norway (Skjeggedal 2001; Skjeggedal et al. 2001). This project is mainly concerned with the management of landscape change in forested areas in an ecological perspective.
