Abstract
Several themes resonate in the chapters of this volume. There is a clear call for integrating perspectives, disciplines, and approaches to land use and management. Longer temporal and broader spatial scales, as well as human dimensions, must be considered in this integration. To manage and use land in an ecologically sound manner, land-use planning efforts should recognize the significance of natural processes, the dynamic nature of ecological Systems, the uncertainty and inherent variability of ecological Systems, and the importance of cumulative effects. Advances in land-management tools and technology should be balanced by an understanding of ecological processes and sources of change. The new directions in land management and use discussed in this chapter explicitly incorporate ecological principles and guidelines.
