Landscape ecology has been featured with patch-corridor-matrix dogma -- a landscape is composed of multiple ecosystems. It is theorized that new structural and functional features would emerge when >2 ecosystems are placed together Chen & Saunders 2006

The Patch-Corridor-Matrix Framework -- N. American View of landscapes --

Landscape Structure Landscape Structure: patch-corridor-edge-matrix framework (FRAGSTATS, Fractals, Wavelet, Semivariance/Kriging, etc.) Patch Patterns Edges and AEI Roads and Streams Fragmentations Landscape Process Landscape Process: movements of materials, energy and species across landscape Landscape Dynamics Landscape Dynamics: change over time Landscape Models Landscape Models: HARVEST, Neutral Model, Moose, Tree2.0, LANDIS, etc. Landscape Management Landscape Management: mimicking natural processes and arrange land mosaics in time and space

Landscape Analysis Landscape Analysis: FRAGSTAT Remote Sensing Pattern-Process Relationships Pattern-Process Relationships: Fire and land mosaics Species and structure (e.g., invasions) Water and carbon Gene flow and structure (not covered) Landscape production

Landscape is an area that is spatially heterogeneous in at least one factor of interest. Landscape Ecology emphasizes the interaction between spatial pattern and ecological processes — that is, the causes and consequences of spatial heterogeneity across a range of scales (Turner et al. 2000). Not a science Broader scales (mostly spatial) Multiple ecosystems, their spatial arrangement and interactions Applied scientific discipline Multidisciplinary

Tress et al. (2005) The process of generating new knowledge comes full circle only when scientific understanding has been integrated into management and lessons from application are transferred back to validate or inform research studies. It is through this complete process that theories emerge. Circle of Knowledge Creation
