摘要：The paper presents a case study in which land use strategies to mitigate Climate Change effects are developed for a modelin Saxony, Germany. In this region, the degree of freedom to respond to Climate Change with land-cover changes is verysmall. Based on a participatory process, an approach was developed to extend land-cover classes (e.g. forest, agriculture)by land management classes. In this paper, the focus is on the forest management classification. In the discussion withregional actors, four recommendations were identified that must be fulfilled to make land management classes regionallyapplicable and relevant. They should (1) reflect the effectiveness of management practices to mitigate Climate Changeimpacts, (2) express different management objectives, (3) show the compatibility with future trends (new crops, new publicdemands) and (4) provide a link to land-cover data. Finally, 22 mixed land-cover and management classes in forestry andaround 30 classes in agriculture could be derived. For a test case on afforestation of agricultural sites the paper demonstratesthat a more differentiated look at land management practices instead of land-cover classes helps to improve the understandingof (a) regional potentials to adapt to Climate Change and to mitigate its effects and (b) the impact of sectoral managementstrategies at landscape level on the provision of ecosystem services.
