Abstract
Anthroscapes are dealing with the adaption of land management to soil- and terrain conditions. Under human influence specific soil and landscape conditions can develop over long periods of time. Due to the low population pressure and historical developments other systems of Anthroscapes could develop in Norway.
In this chapter the landscape, soil and land-use situation in the Landscape Region “The Clay Soil District” in SE Norway is described. Attention is paid to the original situation, on the negative impact of land use and land management change and which measures were taken to redirect the negative developments into a positive direction. Understanding the relation between ecosystem functioning, landscape development, land use and soil development is important to develop a sustainable land management. Due to human influence a modern Anthroscape is under development.
