Learning About the History of Landscape Use for the Future: Consequences for Ecological and Social Systems in Swedish Bergslagen

Abstract: Barriers and bridges to implement policies about sustainable development and sustainability commonly depend on the past development of social–ecological systems. Production of metals required integration of use of ore, streams for energy, and wood for bioenergy and construction, as well as of multiple societal actors. Focusing on the Swedish Bergslagen region as a case study we (1) describe the phases of natural resource use triggered by metallurgy, (2) the location and spatial extent of 22 definitions of Berg… Show more

“…Social–ecological systems, or landscapes, also exhibit nonlinear dynamics with thresholds, complex feedback loops, time lags, resilience, heterogeneity, and surprises. Additionally, there are legacies of the past that have effects on present conditions and future possibilities (Angelstam et al 2011a, 2013b). However, in addition to Liu et al’s (2007) example of interdisciplinary research, in order to contribute to the solution of problems related to the governance and management of natural capital, stakeholders and actors need to develop knowledge production and learning together.…”

“…The first gradient, generally south–north on the European continent, is landscape history linked to the gradual expansion of the human enterprise and its effects on ecosystems as natural capital (Angelstam et al 2013b). Commonly, countries are used as units of study of economic development (Rostow 1960; Landman 2003), which is a major driver of landscape change.…”

“…The first was the history of land use ranging from areas with near-natural landscapes in the periphery of economic development to areas with a long history of landscape use and management. As proxy variables we used the gradient from occurrence of large intact landscapes to ecoregions with different levels of vulnerability, which is linked to gradients in landscape history (see Angelstam et al 2013b). The second was the way governance is carried out using regional political divisions linked to the fault lines of political culture (Katchanovski 2006), or even termed civilizations (sensu Huntington 1997).…”

“…To understand the prerequisites for SD toward sustainability in social–ecological systems, their history needs to be analyzed (Angelstam et al 2013b). This implies a need to consider and understand the consequences of past human use and influence in the landscape (Gunst 1989).…”

“…Some landscapes can have a recent origin but they can represent the history of a population. It is also desirable to identify and implement those landscape policies invoked by ELC for landscape protection in a perspective of sustainability, but tradition and sustainability (considering its comprehensive meaning), not always overlap (Bouma, 1998;Carmona, 2010;Antrop, 2005;Angelstam, 2013, Puddu et al, 2009Vos, 1999;Recanatesi, 2010;Antrop, 2006). Actually the ELC is aimed "… to promote landscape protection, management and planning, and to organize European co-operation on landscape issues", but does not suggest methods or criteria to be adopted.…”
