| Summary |
This book gives you a systematic and descriptive overview of what can be understood by resilience in a landscape context. Why do some landscapes emerge stronger from crises, while others are unable to restore their functions and landscape character after disturbances? This book invites you to explore fascinating landscapes from all over the world to find out which factors and conditions influence the adaptability and regenerative capacity of landscapes. Climate change is not the only factor that can throw landscapes out of balance. The book identifies a wide range of stress and disturbance factors, as well as landscape types, and develops a model of principles and strategies that can be used to strengthen the resilience of landscapes. Finally, the book provides suggestions on how to assess landscape resilience and how to use it in landscape and spatial planning. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Landschaftliche Resilienz by Catrin Schmidt, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors. Prof. Dr. Catrin Schmidt researches and teaches as a professor of landscape planning at the TU Dresden and has conducted comparative studies in different landscape types of our world in 2019 for this book |
