Across Australia, species , habitats, carbon, water and nutrient resources are strained by human imp acts leading to lost productivity, disruption of ecosystem services, and i ncreasing rates of extinction. Far from being solely an environmentalist ’s concern, the steady loss of this ‘natural capital’ undermines agr iculture, recreation and tourism, and other land-dependent activities on w hich our society and economy rely. Strategic landscape management offers t he potential for synergistic outcomes that combine sustained land producti vity with positive contributions to decarbonisation, nature repair and a r eversal of natural capital loss. New legislation and emerging policy instr uments, such as the Nature Repair Act, reforms to the Environment Protecti on and Biodiversity Conservation Act and the NSW Nature Strategy, are sett ing the scene for meaningful change. Realising their potential to reverse the trajectory of landscape degradation and biodiversity decline will depe nd on collaborating broadly across disciplines. To design successful strat egies, we need to harness our best understanding of the soil, vegetation a nd landscape processes that govern our land ecosystems and their trajector y under evolving climate and land use. Three short talks will highlight wi th examples the capability science can bring to the strategic management o f our landscapes at the nexus of food, energy, climate action and nature r epair.\n\nProf Ben Smith\n\nDirector of Research, Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment\n\nBen is an ecologist and ecosystem modeller interested in the structural and functional dynamics of the world’s major ecosystem types, or biomes.
