The idea for this book grew out of: (1) the realisation that
development of the theory of landscape ecology has now reached the
point where rigorous field work is required to validate models,
test assumptions and ideas of scaling theory, and refine our
understanding of landscape features and their delineation; (2) the
relative scarcity of compilations that have examined the role of
field research or interdisciplinary management applications in
advancing the science of landscape ecology; and (3) the increasing
amount of information coming out of the Chequamegon Integrated
Field Project (CIFP) on relevant topics. This book synthesises the
experiences and lessons learned from the CIFP project and other
relevant landscape studies in an attempt to demonstrate the utility
of field studies and emerging technology to the advancement of the
science. This book is organised to synthesise and update knowledge
on research topics mentioned previously, with an emphasis on
ecological consequences (i.e., implications for ecological
function) of the approach to and understanding of these topics
across levels of the ecological hierarchy.
