“…there is no such thing as a clear and stable reference point for restoration projects, but history provides a sequel of transitional stages, each characterized with a characteristic bundle of landscape services (Zoderer et al 2019). A high diversity in services, also commonly known as 'multifunctionality', is associated to a great landscape heterogeneity (Lavorel et al 2019;Huber et al 2020). Such a high diversity of services might also be of high value to society and worth being aimed at for the future.…”

Context Landscape ecology early on developed the awareness that central objects of investigation are not stable over time and therefore the historical dimension must be included, or at least considered. Objectives This paper considers the importance of history in landscape ecology in terms of its impact on patterns and processes and proposes to complement these with the notion of pathways in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of landscape change. Methods We develop a conceptual framework distinguishing between legacy effects, which include pattern and processes, and path dependence, with a focus of development pathways and we illustrate these perspectives by empirical examples. Results Combined short- to long-lasting imprints and legacies of historical patterns and processes reveal how present patterns and processes are in various ways influenced by legacies of the past. The focus on inherent dynamics of development pathways sheds light on the process of change itself, and its trajectories, and reveals the role of event chains and institutional reproduction. Conclusions Understanding patterns, processes, and pathways over time, allows a more complete analysis of landscape change, and forms the base to preserve vital ecosystem services of both human-made and natural landscapes for the future.

“…Understanding the links between conservation demands and management practices and understanding the fact that multifunctional landscapes increase the benefits for stakeholders considering their multiple demanded ecosystem services [127] can increase awareness of the value of the benefits that ecosystems provide [128]. Ecosystem service assessments provide knowledge to aid the pursuit of suitable policies for the management of ecosystem services [10,114,129]; a key challenge it is the management of multiple ecosystem services across landscapes [130].…”

Global changes impact the human-environment relationship, and, in particular, they affect the provision of ecosystem services. Mountain ecosystems provide a wide range of such services, but they are highly sensitive and vulnerable to change due to various human pressures and natural processes. We conducted a literature survey that focused on two main issues. The first was the identification of quantitative methods aimed at assessing the impact of land use changes in mountain regions and the related ecosystem services. The second was the analysis of the extent to which the outcomes of these assessments are useful and transferable to stakeholders. We selected papers through a keyword-driven search of the ISI Web of Knowledge and other international databases. The keywords used for the search were mountain land use change and ecosystem service. Quantitative approaches to ecosystem service assessment rely on suitable indicators, therefore land use/land cover can be used as an appropriate proxy. Landscape metrics are a powerful analytical tool; their use can increase the accuracy of assessments and facilitate the mitigation of specific phenomena, such as fragmentation or the reduction of core habitat areas. Mapping is essential: it is the basis for spatial analyzes and eases the interactions between stakeholders. Land use/land cover change is a temporal process, so both past and future approaches are meaningful. It is necessary to enhance information transfer from theory to practice. Increasing stakeholder awareness can lead to suitable management solutions, and, reciprocally, stakeholder feedback can help improve current assessment methodologies and contribute to developing new tools that are suitable for specific problems.

“…Does socioeconomic diversification enhance multifunctionality of mountain landscapes? (Huber et al 2020) Background, gap and research question: Multifunctional landscapes counter conflicts and optimize benefits for competing stakeholders. Moreover, they make an efficient use of space and time, which is particularly useful in mountain valleys with limited usable land.…”

“…Despite multifunctionality being a frequently mentioned policy aim, there has been a lack of implementation, mainly due to knowledge gaps about direct and indirect implications of land-use decisions on multifunctionality. Although numerous studies have assessed human-induced trajectories of landscape patterns and related effects on selected ES (Bürgi et al 2015;Egarter Vigl et al 2017;Schirpke et al 2019;Zimmermann et al 2010), few studies have assessed the historical change in multifunctionality and how it is influenced by the conversion of land use types and the adaptation of landscape patterns (Lavorel et al 2019;Tasser et al 2020). This paper aimed to improve our understanding of interlinkages between socioeconomic developments, landscape patterns and multiple ES supply (i.e., multifunctionality).…”
