Changing Landscapes: An Ecological Perspective

Abstract

Rather than only tying down neat packages of knowledge, the sequence of chapters here is designed to forge new linkages and explore dimensions of an emerging frontier. Beginning with a historical background, the book progresses from natural processes in short-term change, to interacting natural and human processes in unplanned long-term change, to change by design, that is, human planning and management. This distinctive integration of natural processes and human activities is increasingly a hallmark of landscape ecology.
