Landscape Ecology
A section of Land (ISSN 2073-445X).
Section Information
The “Landscape Ecology” section welcomes contributions concerning the dynamics of patterns and processes at landscape scales concerning any type of landscape, land use or land cover, including aquatic, coastal and marine systems. Manuscripts can be theoretical, applied, or ‘state of the science’ reviews, but should explicitly address spatial and/or temporal scale. Interdisciplinary manuscripts focusing on social-ecological systems, sustainability or global change issues are particularly welcome, as are manuscripts from fields adjacent to landscape ecology, such as geography, macroecology, spatial science and modeling.
