摘要: Landscape ecology is based on the analysis of linkages between spatial pattern and ecological processes within a landscape (Turner, 1989). Three characteristics are important to linkage process: structure, function change (Forman Godron 1986). “Structure” refers relationships components landscape, that is, distribution energy, materials, species in relation size, shape, numbers, kinds configuration components. “Function” interactions elements, such as flow organisms among landscape. “Change” alteration structure mosaic through time. Understanding landscapes helps determine relationship process has been main research item many studies systems.
