5. Conclusion

Designing a plan for the redevelopment or reconstitution of a bocage landscape is a complex task in the sense that the plurality of functions means that a decision concerning one of them can have unexpected consequences on others. The diversity of bocage landscapes and local issues calls for a variety of approaches. This is why, from a methodological point of view, we can only help define the issues at stake and provide some information on modeling.

The diversity of ecosystem services provided by bocages has led some to describe these landscapes as forerunners of nature-based solutions.
