Foundation papers in landscape ecology /

Landscape Ecology Deals with the effects of spatial patterns of landscapes on ecological processes, natural-resource management, and conservation. The forty original papers included in this volume represent the development of landscape ecology and encompass a variety of perspectives, approaches, and...
