DESCRIPTION:A transition in the design and goals of natural resource manage
 ment requires new competence in those acting as practitioners in agencies 
 with missions in resource planning. Thus\, we find a new paradigm in ecosy
 stem management developing internationally that strives to put Man along w
 ith his complex behavior back into the ecological system\, e.g.\, developi
 ng a transcisciplinary component in environmental science. The call for su
 ch a measure was seen with incredible foresight and vision by the outstand
 ing pioneer in conservation biology\, Aldo Leopold\, who wrote the followi
 ng in Berlin in 1935:  “One of the anomalies of modern ecology is the crea
 tion of two groups\, each of which seems barely aware of the existence of 
 the other. One studies the human community\, almost as if it were a separa
 te entity\, and calls its findings sociology\, economics and history. The 
 other studies the plant and animal community and comfortably relegates the
  hodge-podge of politics to the liberal arts. The inevitable fusion of the
 se two lines of thought will constitute the outstanding advance of the pre
 sent century.” Leopold was of course referring to the 20th century\, and i
 t is clear that we failed to meet his expectations. The recent funding of 
 the International Research Training Group “Complex Terrain and Ecological 
 Heterogeneity (TERRECO): Evaluating ecosystem services in production versu
 s water yield and water quality in mountainous landscapes” provides us at 
 the University of Bayreuth with a unique opportunity and initial core supp
 ort: to develop a competitive transdisciplinary ecosystem research program
  focused on water management\, clearly a theme that will increase in impor
 tance in the next decades\; and to work toward establishing a transdiscipl
 inary component in future environmental studies curricula\, oriented to pr
 oblem solving in the context of global change. The TERRECO effort will dev
 elop capacity to evaluate multiple dimensions of ecosystem performance via
  simulation modelling\, e.g.\, with respect to water yield\, water quality
 \, erosion\, agricultural and forest production\, carbon balances\, trace 
 gas emissions\, etc.\, both for current situations and under future climat
 e conditions. But TERRECO goes beyond this in planned scenario evaluations
  to consider influences of the economic framework\, the regulatory regime\
 , and the attitudes and perceptions of nature (i.e.\, with respect to reso
 urce conservation) on decision-making which determines future land use.
