LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY

Landscape Ecology is the flagship journal of a well-established and rapidly developing interdisciplinary science that focuses explicitly on the ecological understanding of spatial heterogeneity. Landscape Ecology draws together expertise from both biophysical and socioeconomic sciences to explore basic and applied research questions concerning the ecology, conservation, management, design/planning, and sustainability of landscapes as coupled human-environment systems. Landscape ecology studies are characterized by spatially explicit methods in which spatial attributes and arrangements of landscape elements are directly analyzed and related to ecological processes. A valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners in ecology, conservation, ecosystem management, and landscape planning and design, Landscape Ecology is currently one of the leading journals across these fields.

景观生态学是一门成熟的、快速发展的跨学科科学的旗舰期刊，明确关注空间异质性的生态理解。景观生态学汇集了生物物理和社会经济科学的专业知识，探索有关生态、保护、管理、设计/规划和景观作为耦合的人类环境系统的可持续性的基本和应用研究问题。景观生态学研究的特点是空间显式方法，即直接分析景观要素的空间属性和布局，并将其与生态过程联系起来。景观生态学是生态学、自然保护、生态系统管理、景观规划与设计等领域的研究人员和实践者的宝贵资源，目前是这些领域的领先期刊之一。
