Landscape ecology presents an original approach to the ecology of agricultural landscape by linking human and ecological functioning. The approach manifests the author's dual training.As agronomist and ecologist, as well as their academic and field experience. The work allows us to analyse the environmental consequences of human activities and to study the human activities in an environmental perspective. The book covers the major concepts, the methods of spatially explicit analyses from an ecological perspective, and the factors of landscape dynamics having ecological implications. The authors explain the theoretical and empirical bases of relationships between the spatial structures of landscape and processes such as population dynamics, species assemblages, and biogeochemical phars[...]

The book covers the major concepts, the methods of spatially explicit analyses from an ecological perspective, and the factors of landscape dynamics having ecological implications. The authors explain the theoretical and empirical bases of relationships between the spatial structures of landscape and processes such as population dynamics, species assemblages, and biogeochemical pharses. The authors have included examples of application of landscape ecology concepts in various contries.
