摘要：Landscapes and their management are at the center of many of the sustainability challengesthat we face. Landscapes can be described as social-ecological systems shaped by a myriad ofhuman activities and biophysical processes, interacting across space and time. Managingthem sustainably requires considering this complexity. Resilience thinking offers ways toaddress complexity in decision-making. In this paper, we analyse the learning and impacton a diverse group of local actors from participating in a participatory resilience assessment.The assessment, focused on sustainable landscape management in the Helge å catchment,Sweden, produced concrete knowledge outputs, describing ecosystem service bundles,a future vision, conceptual system models, and a strategic action plan. Follow-up interviewsindicate that the process and its outputs supported the participants’ learning process andhelped them to articulate complexity thinking in practice. The outputs, and the exercises toproduce them, emerged as complementary in supporting this articulation. Furthermore, theyhelped build participants’ capacity to communicate the diverse values of the landscape toothers and to target leverage points more strategically. Thus, it supported the application ofresilience thinking in landscape management, especially by generating learning and fosteringcomplex adaptive systems thinking.
