Angelstam, Per; Axelsson, Robert; Elbakidze, Marine; Törnblom, Johan; Dixelius, Malcolm

Abstract

-Sustainable landscapes require evidence-based knowledge about multiple goods, services and values, as well as integrated place-based collaboration among actors and stakeholders at multiple levels.
-EUROSCAPES is an international network of researchers, journalists and practitioners that supports sharing of knowledge about how to maintain and develop sustainable landscapes.
--Euro... is about the diversity of places in the European continent’s East and West - from the Ural Mountains and Caucasus to the Atlantic Ocean.
--...scapes links to the word landscape, which has biophysical, anthropogenic and perceived dimensions.
-EUROSCAPES gathers and communicates knowledge using three series of publications: --EUROSCAPES News with short texts and illustrations that can be used by journalists. --EUROSCAPES Communication with popular summaries of peer-reviewed publications and reports.
--EUROSCAPES Report with longer peer-reviewed comprehensive text.
-EUROSCAPES uses the web site www.euroscapes.org to disseminate these publication series using five themes: People, Places, Practices, Projects, and Publications.
