Due to a long history of intensive land and water use, habitat networks for biodiversity conservation are generally degraded in Sweden. Landscape restoration (LR) is an important strategy for achieving representative and functional green infrastructures. However, outcomes of LR efforts are poorly studied, particularly the dynamics of LR governance and management. We apply systems thinking methods to a series of LR case studies to analyse the causal structures underlying LR governance and management in Sweden. We show that these structures appear to comprise of an interlinked system of at least three sets of drivers and four core processes. This system exhibits many characteristics of a transformative change towards an integrated, adaptive approach to governance and management. Key challenges for Swedish LR projects relate to institutional and regulatory flexibility, the timely availability of sufficient funds, and the management of learning and knowledge production processes. In response, successful project leaders develop several key strategies to manage complexity and risk, and enhance perceptions of the attractiveness of LR projects.
由于长期高强度的土地和水资源利用，瑞典用于生物多样性保护的栖息地网络普遍退化。景观恢复（LR）是实现具有代表性和功能性的绿色基础设施的重要策略。然而，景观恢复工作的成果研究较少，尤其是景观恢复治理与管理的动态变化。我们将系统思维方法应用于一系列景观恢复案例研究，以分析瑞典景观恢复治理与管理背后的因果结构。我们发现，这些结构似乎由至少三组驱动因素和四个核心过程相互关联而成。该系统展现出向综合、适应性治理与管理方式转变的许多变革性变化特征。瑞典景观恢复项目的关键挑战涉及制度和监管灵活性、充足资金的及时可得性以及学习和知识生产过程的管理。对此，成功的项目负责人制定了若干关键策略来管理复杂性和风险，并提升对景观恢复项目吸引力的认知。
