Overview

This title gives a fundamental representation of landscape ecology, a young, trans-disciplinary science for the solution of environmental problems. Both the theoretical basis and practical application of landscape ecology are considered. It is addressed to landscape planners, managers, conservationists and architects, to biologists and geographers, to colleges, universities, authorities, and to the general public being interested in ecological issues. Among the themes are: the roots and the position of landscape ecology; problems of scale and dimension; landscape analysis; diagnosis; potentials; evaluation; change; prognosis; tools like remote sensing and information systems; spatial planning and nature conservation.
