Landscape Ecology

and methodological developments by recognizing the importance of micro-, meso-, macro-, and cross-scale approaches. The term landscape ecology was coined in 1939 by the German geographer Carl Troll, who was inspired by the spatial patterning of landscapes revealed in aerial photographs and the ecosystem concept developed in 1935 by the British ecologist Arthur Tansley. Troll originally defi ned...

The Application of Landscape Indices in Landscape Ecology

The Integration of Scales in Landscape Ecology

Inquiries into the issue of scale become increasingly important in the field of landscape ecology and natural resource modelling and analysis. Scales of observation and modelling are often pre-set based on the a priori description of the system of study. In this paper we focus on upscaling approaches. We emphasize that predictability depends on the relation between the spatial and the temporal ...

The Landscape Ecology of Invasive Spread

Although habitat loss, fragmentation, and invasive species collectively pose the greatest threats to biodiversity, little theoretical or empirical research has addressed the effects of landscape structure—or spatial pattern more generally—on the spread of invasive species. Landscape ecology is the study of how spatial pattern affects ecological process. Thus, a landscape ecology of invasive spr...
