History of Landscape Ecology in the United States

Abstract

This book accounts the early history of the US Regional Association of the International Association for Landscape Ecology (USIALE) . In this chapter, the coeditors of this volume, we describe the revision in the mission of USIALE that was influenced by officers during the first 30 years since its conception, recipients of society awards, timelines of annual symposia, and hosts for these annual events.
