While non-operating agricultural and absentee forest landowners across the U.S. and Europe are an important group of landowners, our understanding of them remains relatively limited. In this paper, we conduct a systematic literature review on these landowners to encapsulate a current lay of the land in terms of what we know about these landowners and move the dialogue on this topic forward. Eighty-one articles are identified in our search of empirical literature. For each of the landowner types, we discuss their demographics and the three primary themes that emerged related to land management: participation in land management decisions, attitudes regarding land use and ownership, and resource needs in working with these landowners. For agricultural non-operating landowners, we find limited participation in land management decisions, particularly among women, a variety of individual and social factors play a role in involvement, and while they have pro-conservation attitudes, implementation of conservation practices is more limited. Absentee forest landowners we find are more willing to use management plans, yet less willing to engage in active management and risk reduction. These landowners have a range of attitudes regarding land use, with studies highlighting recreation, conservation, and profit motivations. Our review concludes with identifying specific needs for more research and outreach on these landowners.
在美国和欧洲，非经营性农业土地所有者和不在场的林地所有者是一类重要的土地所有者群体，但我们对他们的了解仍然相对有限。在本文中，我们对这些土地所有者进行了系统的文献综述，以概括目前关于这些土地所有者我们所了解的情况，并推动关于这一主题的讨论向前发展。在我们对实证文献的搜索中，共识别出81篇文章。对于每一类土地所有者，我们讨论了他们的人口统计学特征以及与土地管理相关出现的三个主要主题：参与土地管理决策、对土地使用和所有权的态度以及与这些土地所有者合作时的资源需求。对于农业非经营性土地所有者，我们发现他们参与土地管理决策的程度有限，尤其是女性，多种个人和社会因素在参与过程中发挥作用，并且虽然他们有支持保护的态度，但保护措施的实施更为有限。我们发现不在场的林地所有者更愿意使用管理计划，但不太愿意进行积极管理和降低风险。这些土地所有者对土地使用有一系列态度，研究突出了娱乐、保护和盈利动机。我们的综述最后确定了针对这些土地所有者进行更多研究和推广的具体需求。
