Organisms and Landscape Pattern
2015Organisms live in heterogeneous environments; they grow, reproduce, disperse, and die in landscapes that are spatially variable and temporally dynamic. Understanding the interactions of organisms with their environment is, of course, a major focus of ecology; understanding the interactions of organisms with the spatial heterogeneity in their ...

When we view a landscape, we look at its composition and spatial configuration—that is, what elements are present and in what relative amount, and how these elements are arranged. In an agricultural landscape, we may observe forests occurring along streams and on steep ridges, whereas croplands and pastures occupy upland areas of gentler slope.

The term “landscape” was introduced into Russian scientific literature in 1913. Since that time a lot of competing conceptions about landscape structure have been developed. Although traditional genesis-based approach with strong focus on abiotic factors is most widely applied, today landscape is treated as a multifaceted and multifunctional phenomenon,

Landscape Ecology, 2005
Landscape pattern indices are common tools of landscape ecologists, affording comparisons of different study areas, or the same study area at different times. Since the advent of popular index-calculating software, more landscapes can be analyzed in short amounts of time, yet the behaviour of landscape pattern indices can vary for different contexts or

Landscape pattern and population conservation
1995Current estimates of species extinctions indicate a sharp increase in extinction rate over the past two decades due to human-caused changes in species’ habitat (Groombridge, 1992). The most noticeable and probably most important change is the reduction of the amount of habitat available for many species due primarily to expansion of agriculture and ...

Scaling patterns and processes across landscapes
1998In cartography scale represents the level of reduction of the real dimensions of the earth, and may be absolute or relative. In ecology scale is a fundamental concept, as organisms interact with the environment using an inherent perception of their surroundings (Powell 1989, Steele 1989). Most ecological phenomena show a scale dependence of measurement

Patterns of the peasant landscape
Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 1995In a slightly different form this paper was given as the Europa Lecture for 1994The subject of this contribution is the origin of the diversity in the 19th century peasant landscape in the northern Netherlands. The first goal of the paper is to introduce a British audience to a line of research, which so far has been mainly reported on in Dutch and ...
