Abstract

In this chapter, the author describes how scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have made major contributions to the development and evolution of landscape ecology during these past three decades. He discusses the leadership, research environment, close collaboration, and interdisciplinary approaches that made ORNL a “hotbed” of advanced theories, integrative research, and holistic approaches in the field of landscape ecology. ORNL perhaps has been one of the leading centers for landscape ecology in training, productivity, and interdisciplinary research; the author describes the history and reasons for this success.
