This article delves into the theoretical dimensions of landscapes in transition, provides a comprehensive literature review and outline summary, and contextualizes the theory within the contemporary Anthropocene framework. It is focused on synthesizing and interconnecting the theoretical approaches to landscape in transition in the articles in this special issue, the scope of which is extended by incorporating additional perspectives to supplement and enrich the understanding of the issue. Through an Anthropocene lens, the article conceptualizes landscapes as crucial intermediaries, vividly depicting the convergence of large-scale, global influences or planetary events and local occurrences. The conclusion advocates a pluralistic understanding that embraces differentiated perspectives and a more-than-human approach.
