Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, knowledge of the vegetation and landscape is essential for land use planning, be it forestry or agricultural. In addition, passage is an essential element of tourism development for many countries. It is clear that the study of all aspects of vegetation and landscape, including different methodologies, is important for furthering related knowledge.
Throughout history, human beings have been in contact with the landscape; however, since the industrial revolution of the 19th century, there is an increasing concentration of people in large cities that are separated them from their natural environment, which has been replaced by an artificial environment.
Beginning from the second half of the 20th century, and up to the present moment, humans are demanding to be integrated into natural and rural environments. For this reason, the knowledge of vegetation and landscape has acquired a new dimension in which it is not only necessary to know about and conserve vegetation and landscape in the face of anthropic actions and climate change, but also to value them as a natural resource. In light of these considerations, we make a call to researchers from different disciplines – Geography, Geobotany, Ecology, Agronomy, Forestry, etc. – to participate in this Special Issue by submitting papers and sharing insights from your latest research.
Dr. Eusebio Cano Carmona
Guest Editor
