This series presents studies that have used the paradigm of
landscape ecology. Other approaches, both to landscape and
landscape ecology are common, but in the last decade landscape
ecology has become distinct from its predecessors and its
contemporaries. Landscape ecol ogy addresses the relationships
among spatial patterns, temporal pat terns and ecological
processes. The effect of spatial configurations on ecological
processes is fundamental. When human activity is an import ant
variable affecting those relationships, landscape ecology includes
it. Spatial and temporal scales are as large as needed for
comprehension of system processes and the mosaic included may be
very heteroge neous. Intellectual utility and applicability of
results are valued equally. The International Association for
Landscape Ecology sponsors this series of studies in order to
introduce and disseminate some of the new knowledge that is being
produced by this exciting new environmental science. Gray Merriam
Ottawa, Canada Preface In Europe, during the seventies, landscape
ecology emerged as a fusion of the spatial approach of geographers
and the functional approach of ecologists. The latter focused on
ecosystem functioning, regarding eco systems as homogeneous, almost
abstract units in space, with input and output of energy and matter
to and from the undefined surroundings."
