threatens the loss of nature’s valuable resources. But it also threatens the loss of
knowledge as a dynamic intangible resource, since the destruction of ecosystem
resilience destroys the very possibility of studying the complexities and nested
dependencies that sustain ecosystem resilience. Nothing short of a land change
science, as part of multidisciplinary environmental-change-and-sustainabilityresearch, is needed to understand the coupled human-environment systems, taken
in their fragility as well as dynamics. There is also an urgent need to articulate the
concept of knowledge as a dynamic resource. While analyzing the strategic multidisciplinarity as part of knowledge resources dynamics, as part of the enriched
knowledge environments in which knowledge is generated and knowledge change
and innovation are engineered, it is necessary to explore the new possibilities/
horizons of disciplinary interface-building on the one hand and knowledgeenhancing local interactions across research institutions on the other.
Moreover, there is an urgent need for new research tools within the framework
of knowledge resources dynamics. First, such tools should help us in studying how
national economies have accelerated the process of moving from their industrial
economic base, shifting towards a knowledge base, in which wealth creation is
associated with the ability to develop and manage dynamic knowledge resources.
Second, they should help us in studying the challenges of development arising
within the framework of knowledge-based national economies and national and
international institutions that have produced various Intellectual Capital (IC)
frameworks and guidelines to guide in the management, measurement and reporting
of IC. And third, they should help us in understanding better the dynamic linkages
between discoveries, knowledge generation, knowledge change, innovation and
entrepreneurship (turn to the knowledge resources dynamics Fig. 1).
