Description for Mosaic Landscapes and Ecological Processes
Hardback. Reflects the changes in the science of ecology, away from the classical view of ecological processes taking place within homogenous environments to a recognition that organisms in the real world are clumped into patchy populations and that this heterogeneity has significant effects on ecological processes. Editor(s): Hansson, Lennart; Fahrig, Lenore (Associate Professor of Biology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada); Merrian, Gray (Professor of Biology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). Series: IALE Studies in Landscape Ecology. Num Pages: 356 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RNC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 22. Weight in Grams: 708.
This series presents studies that have used the paradigm of landscape ecology. Other approaches, both to landscape and landscape ecology are common, but in the last decade landscape ecology has become distinct from its predecessors and its contemporaries. Landscape ecology addresses the relationships among spatial patterns, temporal patterns and ecological processes. The effect of spatial configurations on ecological processes is fundamental. When human activity is an important variable affecting those relationships, landscape ecology includes it. Spatial and temporal scales are as large as needed for comprehension of system processes and the mosaic included may be very heterogeneous. Intellec tual utility ... Read more

Reviews for Mosaic Landscapes and Ecological Processes
The examination of the most recent studies including more than one habitat and interactions between habitats, plus the significance of this approach for generalizations to other ecological mechanisms, is the subject of this important book. Mosaic Landscapes and Ecological Processes will help ecologists and conservation biologists to solve real-life problems. ... Read more
