| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Human activity during the Anthropocene has transformed landscapes worldwide on a scale that rivals or exceeds even the largest of natural forces. Landscape ecology has emerged as a science to investigate the interactions between natural and anthropogenic landscapes and ecological processes across a wide range of scales and systems: from the effects of habitat or resource distributions on the individual movements, gene flow, and population dynamics of plants and animals; to the human alteration of landscapes affecting the structure of biological communities and the functioning of entire ecosystems; to the sustainable management of natural resources and the ecosystem goods and services upon which society depends. This novel and comprehensive text presents the principles, theory, methods, and applications of landscape ecology in an engaging and accessible format that is supplemented by numerous examples and case studies from a variety of systems, including freshwater and marine 'scapes'.--Page 4 of cover. |

| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Essentials of Landscape Ecology investigates the causes and consequences of environmental heterogeneity-the reciprocal effects of pattern and process-ranging from human land use and management considerations to the ecological and evolutionary considerations of biota within landscapes, including aquatic and marine landscapes. In this new, fully up-to-date and comprehensive text, the principles and applications of landscape ecology are presented in an engaging and accessible format. Suitable for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses in landscape ecology, this textbook could also be used as a supplemental text in courses on forestry, resource and wildlife management, conservation and restoration biology, and land-use planning. For the professional, this book provides a complete reference to the important concepts, methods, and applications of landscape ecology. This book is thus relevant to ecologists, resource management professionals, wildlife and fisheries biologists, conservation biologists, land-use planners, and policy makers who are interested in understanding the consequences of spatial heterogeneity and/or are charged with incorporating landscape ecological principles into their research or management programs.--https://www.researchgate.net |
