Abstract
Relationships of landscape ecology and land use planning and management are discussed. The significance of an ecological data base for national, regional and local planning is considered from a Canadian perspective, relating ecological land classification hierarchy to the various levels of management, and describing developments in survey methodology, remote sensing and computer information systems.
