Landscape change occurs as a result of both human and natural forces. When changes are abrupt and drastic, they can negatively impact people who had become attached to a landscape’s prior character. Place-based models of landscape change assert that the strength of people’s attachments can influence their experience of and response to change. We apply a qualitative deductive-inductive approach to examine rapid change experienced by family forest owners in the northern Great Lakes region of the U.S. (N = 17), whose densely forested property was in the path of a major windstorm and near an ongoing pine barrens restoration. Through in-depth interviews we found that landowners had a strong sense of place for the Northwoods, a culturally-constructed landscape character of big trees and continuous canopy of relatively recent origin in our study area. This sense of place acted as a lens through which they experienced multiple and sometimes cumulative drivers of change resulting in a spectrum of losses, including solastalgia. Sense of place affected how they responded to change on their own property, with most wanting to assist or let “Mother Nature take its course” in returning the land to its Northwoods character rather than its more open, ecologically-based conditions. Responses to the pine barrens restoration ranged from negative to somewhat positive, with those expressing positive feelings mentioning aesthetic, ecological, and functional reasons. Implications for management and place-based model development are discussed.

景观变化是人类和自然力量共同作用的结果。当变化突然而剧烈时，它们会对那些已经依附于景观先前特征的人产生负面影响。基于地方的景观变化模型断言，人们依恋的强度可以影响他们对变化的体验和反应。我们应用定性演绎-归纳方法来检查美国北部五大湖地区（N = 17）的家庭森林所有者经历的快速变化，其茂密的森林财产处于大风暴路径和正在进行的松树荒地附近恢复。通过深入访谈，我们发现土地所有者对 Northwoods 有着强烈的地方感，这是我们研究区域内大树和连续树冠的文化建构景观特征。这种地方感就像一个镜头，通过它，他们经历了多重甚至有时是累积的变化驱动因素，导致一系列损失，包括痛觉。地方感影响了他们对自己财产变化的反应，大多数人希望帮助或让“大自然母亲顺其自然”将土地恢复到诺斯伍德的特色，而不是更开放、基于生态的条件。对松林荒地恢复的反应从消极到有些积极，那些表达积极感受的人提到了审美、生态和功能方面的原因。讨论了管理和基于地点的模型开发的影响。包括痛风。地方感影响了他们对自己财产变化的反应，大多数人希望帮助或让“大自然母亲顺其自然”将土地恢复到诺斯伍德的特色，而不是更开放、基于生态的条件。对松林荒地恢复的反应从消极到有些积极，那些表达积极感受的人提到了审美、生态和功能方面的原因。讨论了管理和基于地点的模型开发的影响。包括痛风。地方感影响了他们对自己财产变化的反应，大多数人希望帮助或让“大自然母亲顺其自然”将土地恢复到诺斯伍德的特色，而不是更开放、基于生态的条件。对松林荒地恢复的反应从消极到有些积极，那些表达积极感受的人提到了审美、生态和功能方面的原因。讨论了管理和基于地点的模型开发的影响。对松林荒地恢复的反应从消极到有些积极，那些表达积极感受的人提到了审美、生态和功能方面的原因。讨论了管理和基于地点的模型开发的影响。对松林荒地恢复的反应从消极到有些积极，那些表达积极感受的人提到了审美、生态和功能方面的原因。讨论了管理和基于地点的模型开发的影响。
