Land use is both a major cause of the biodiversity crises and a potential solution to it. Decisions about land use are made in complex social–ecological systems, yet conservation research, policy, and practice often neglect the diverse and dynamic nature of land use. A deeper integration of land system science and conservation science provides major opportunities in this context, through a transfer of concepts, data, and methodologies. Specifically, a closer exchange between land-use data developers and users will enable common terminology and better data use, allowing to move beyond coarse land-cover representations of land use. Similarly, archetyping and regionalization approaches can help to embrace, rather than oversimplify, the diversity of land-use actors and practices. Finally, systematically linking land-use actors to portfolios of pressures on biodiversity, beyond their direct impact on habitat, can better represent and map co-occurring and interacting threats. Together, this will enable conservation policymakers and planners to recognize the often-complex and wicked nature of conservation challenges related to land, allowing for more context-specific conservation policymaking and planning, and more targeted conservation interventions.

在保护中超越对土地利用的简单表示


土地利用既是生物多样性危机的主要原因，也是解决生物多样性危机的潜在解决方案。关于土地利用的决策是在复杂的社会生态系统中做出的，但保护研究、政策和实践往往忽视了土地利用的多样性和动态性。土地系统科学和保护科学的更深入整合通过概念、数据和方法的转移，在此背景下提供了重大机会。具体来说，土地利用数据开发人员和用户之间更紧密的交流将实现通用术语和更好的数据使用，从而超越土地利用的粗略土地覆被表示。同样，原型和区域化方法有助于接受而不是过度简化土地使用参与者和做法的多样性。最后，将土地利用行为者与生物多样性面临的压力组合系统地联系起来，除了它们对栖息地的直接影响之外，可以更好地表示和绘制同时发生和相互作用的威胁。总之，这将使保护政策制定者和规划者能够认识到与土地相关的保护挑战往往是复杂和邪恶的，从而允许根据具体情况制定和保护政策，并采取更有针对性的保护干预措施。
