Springer Landscape Ecological Applications In Man-Influenced Areas Linking Man And Nature Systems 2010 Edition by Sun-Kee Hong Nobukazu Nakagoshi Bojie Fu Yukihiro Morimoto
Landscape Ecological Applications in Man-Influenced Areas not only expands the concept of landscape ecology but also applies its principles to man-influenced ecosystems. New dimensions of landscape ecological research in a global change such as urbanization biodiversity and land transformation are explored in this book. The book also includes case studies concerning landscape analysis and evaluation using spatial analysis and landscape modelling for establishing sustainable management strategy in urban and agricultural landscapes.
