摘要: Forest landscape ecology examines broad-scale patterns and processes their interactions in forested systems informs the management of these ecosystems. Beyond being among richest most complex terrestrial systems, forest landscapes serve society by providing an array products services and, if managed properly, can do so sustainably. In this chapter, we provide overview field ecology, including major historical present topics research, approaches, scales, applications, particularly those concerning edges, fragmentation, connectivity, disturbance, biodiversity. addition, discuss causes change landscapes, land-use changes, expected structural functional consequences that may result from drivers. This chapter is intended to set context for remainder book poses a broad questions related global need answers.
