| Land patterns are beautiful, fascinating, dynamic, and significant to so many life processes. Capacity to understand landscape patterns can arise from very different paradigms; i) through the fine arts, an ability to see patterns; ii) from language arts, the gift to read and describe the landscape; iii) from the geographic sciences, the ability to map, measure, and interpret patterns; and iv) from environmental design, the drive to integrate the above capacities. Under many circumstances, landscape studies or conservation could be enhanced using multiple approaches to capture the complex dynamics of people and land in a holistic framework. Long-held paradigms about how knowledge is acquired and applied in the ecological sciences may be trespassed. Linking... |

| This chapter discusses challenges for PhD students involved in integrative landscape research. These challenges include terminology, epistemology, expectations, stakeholder involvement, organizational barriers, communicating and publishing, as well as career development. The chapter presents recommendations for future integrative landscape research involving PhD students and prospects for future education. The recommendations are based on our experiences in research and teaching in general, and on our exchanges with the students in the PhD master class in particular. The recommendations also reflect on the conclusions that can be drawn from the PhD students’ contributions in this book. |

| Culture, cultivation and landscape change form the basis of this integrative study in the Upper Great Lakes region of North America. Declining across its native range, natural wild rice provides sustenance as a food source and limited economic benefits to both Native Americans and Americans of European descent. Relationships to wild rice however differ greatly between the two cultures as the Native Americans have historically considered wild rice a sacred gift, while non-Indians view it more strictly as a resource. Cultivation takes place using a variety of methods, regulated by policies that are complicated by the national, tribal, state and provincial borders that bisect the region. The authors propose an integrative approach to studying this changing... |
