Principles and methods of landscape ecology are intensively used to
model and to manage disturbed landscapes and menaced pristine areas
as well. Students and professionals can find a new version of
"Principles and Methods in Landscape Ecology" firstly published in
1998 by Chapman & Hall (London).
Landscape ecology is an integrative and multi-disciplinary
science and "Principles and Methods in Landscape Ecology"
reconciles the geological, botanical, zoological and human
perspectives. In particular new paradigms and theories like
percolation, metapopulation, hierarchies, source-sink models have
been integrated in this last edition with the recent theories on
bio-complexity, information and cognitive sciences.
Methods for studying landscape ecology are covered including
spatial geometry models and remote sensing in order to create
confidence toward techniques and approaches that require a high
experience and long-time dedication.
Principles and Methods in Landscape Ecology is a textbook useful
to present the landscape in a multi-vision perspective for
undergraduate and graduate students of biology, ecology, geography,
forestry, agronomy, landscape architecture and planning. Sociology,
economics, history, archaeology, anthropology, ecological
psychology are some sciences that can benefit of the holistic
vision offered by this texbook.
A relevant goal of this second edition is to increase confidence
in the new generations of students and practitioners for
considering the ecological systems as the result of the integration
between ecosystemic (non-spatial) and landscape (spatial) patterns
and processes.
