Features: This book is one of the "Ecological Hotspot Research Series." Landscape ecology studies various ecological processes at multiple spatial scales, advancing ecological research to the landscape level and primarily focusing on the interactions between ecosystems. It greatly expands the thinking of ecological research and fully incorporates relevant content from geographic spatial theory and ecosystem process theory in its methodology. It actively addresses a series of ecological and environmental topics such as land use and land change, biodiversity, global change, and sustainable development, offering practical guidance for ecological planning, landscape management, ecological engineering, and other related fields. The book systematically introduces the fundamental principles, research methods, relevant technologies, and applications of landscape ecology, as well as the latest achievements in this field. It can serve as a teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students in ecology, urban planning, agriculture, forestry, and related disciplines, while also providing valuable insights for ecological practitioners in relevant industries.
