• Biodiversity and ecosystem service assessments;
• Food and water security;
• Forest landscape ecology;
• Historical landscape ecology;
• Landscape planning;
• Outreach and policy;
• Spatial analysis of organisms in the environment;
• Urban and peri-urban governance;
• Pattern–process–scale relationships of landscapes;
• Landscape connectivity and fragmentation;
• Scale and scaling;
• Spatial analysis and landscape modeling;
• Landscape history and legacy effects;
• Landscape and climate change interactions;
• Ecosystem services in changing landscapes;
• Landscape sustainability;
• Remote sensing of landscape.

As part of this collaboration, all members of the IALE will receive a 10% discount on the article processing charge (APC) when submitting articles to Land. Please choose IALE as your institution when submitting papers to this Collection.

The IALE is the worldwide organization for landscape ecologists. The primary mission is to promote global collaborations among their various chapters and with international policymakers. They also serve as a platform for discussion and interactions across disciplines.
