Landscape Ecology is the flagship journal of landscape ecology which is a rapidly developing discipline as well as a new ecological paradigm. Focusing on highly inter- and transdisciplinary studies, Landscape Ecology draws together expertise from biological, geophysical, and social sciences to explore the formation, dynamics and consequences of spatial heterogeneity in natural and human-dominated landscapes. In particular the journal publishes new and innovative papers which seek to improve our understanding of the relationships between spatial patterns and ecological processes, and which provide guidance and solutions to help develop and maintain sustainable landscapes.
