Landscape Ecology Theory and Application

This revised edition of the first English-language monograph on the interdisciplinary science of landscape ecology provides a current overview of this rapidly growing subject. The book provides a unified conceptual and methodological framework for a field that is both local and global in its implications, and treats landscape ecology as a holistic, problem-solving oriented science. Landscape Ecology is ideally suited for use as a text in a wide range of courses on landscape ecology, ecology-based land and resource planning, environmental management, natural resources policy, international development, regional planning, landscape history, geography, and human ecology. It will also be of interest to professional researchers, educators, and decision-makers who deal with people's relationship to their natural and cultural environment.
