The conceptual framework of biocultural heritage allows for new approaches to heritage, nature conservation, landscape planning and development goals, providing means to negotiate management goals in these areas, and in certain cases, also to combine them. By reviewing knowledge from the literature, this paper develops a new conceptual framework of biocultural heritage. Five "elements" constitute biocultural heritage in this framework. First, ecosystem memories denote biophysical properties, non-human organisms and agents changed or affected directly or indirectly by humans. Second, landscape memories represent tangible materialised human practice and semi-intangible ways of organising landscapes, such as built environments and archaeological sites, and settlement systems linked to user and property rights. Third, place-based memories refer to intangible living features of human knowledge and communication expressed in know-how, place names, orature, arts, ideas and culture, received, preserved and transmitted over generations. The fourth element, integrated landscape analysis, denotes a toolbox and a conceptual framework for knowledge construction and landscape management. The final fifth element of biocultural heritage, stewardship and change, represents the activity of, and ability in, exploring memory reservoirs of biocultural heritage for transferring knowledge to policy and management and for shaping collaborative initiatives. To illustrate the framework, this paper then presents a study from the village Ängersjö located in the boreal forest in central Sweden. As conclusion, we suggest that the approach - with improvements and modifications - represents an operational joint framework for exploring and managing biocultural heritage, drawing on the past for envisioning the future.

生物文化遗产的概念框架允许采用新的方法来进行遗产，自然保护，景观规划和发展目标，为协商这些领域的管理目标提供了手段，在某些情况下，还可以将这些目标结合起来。通过回顾文献中的知识，本文开发了一种新的生物文化遗产的概念框架。在此框架内，五个“元素”构成了生物文化遗产。首先，生态系统记忆表示生物物理特性，非人类生物和由人类直接或间接改变或影响的物质。其次，景观记忆代表了有形的物化人类实践和组织景观的半无形方式，例如建筑环境和考古遗址，以及与用户和财产权相关的定居系统。第三，基于地点的记忆是指人类知识和交流的无形生活特征，以知识，代名词，地名，自然，艺术，思想和文化表达，世代相传，被保存和传播。第四个要素是综合景观分析，它表示知识构建和景观管理的工具箱和概念框架。生物文化遗产，管理和变革的最后第五要素代表探索生物文化遗产记忆库的活动和能力，以将知识转移到政策和管理中并制定协作计划。为了说明该框架，本文随后对瑞典中部北方森林中的Ängersjö村进行了研究。作为结论，
