Landscape Ecology Principles in Landscape Architecture and Land-Use Planning
Landscape ecology has emerged in the past decade as an important and useful tool for land-use planners and landscape architects. While professionals and scholars have begun to incorporate aspects of this new field into their work, there remains a need for a summary of key principles and how they might be applied in design and planning. This volume fills that need. It is a concise handbook that lists and illustrates key principles in the field, presenting specific examples of how the principles can be applied in a range of scales and diverse types of landscapes around the world. Chapters cover: * patches -- size, number, and location * edges and boundaries * corridors and connectivity * mosaics * summaries of case studies from around the world
