Christiansen, Sofus: A New Attempt at an Ecological Classification of Land Utilization Systems. Geografisk Tidsskrift 92:54–60. Copenhagen 1992. The present article is a follow-up to a previous one (Christiansen, 1979). After a brief review of previous classifications, an approach will be advocated for an ecologically-based classification of utilization systems, consisting of two elements: one describing the productive environment (the ‘econiche’) to which utilization must be adapted, and the other describing the main ways by which the application of available plant nutrients and water are administered in an attempt to cope with these major constraints on productivity (the ‘ecotype’ of the utilization system). The main intervention is by concentrating nutrients and/or water by applying a variety of methods. An overall plan of the attempt is presented in a table at the end of this article
