景觀生態(tài)學(xué)是一門成熟的、快速發(fā)展的跨學(xué)科科學(xué)的旗艦期刊，明確關(guān)注空間異質(zhì)性的生態(tài)理解。景觀生態(tài)學(xué)匯集了生物物理和社會經(jīng)濟科學(xué)的專業(yè)知識，探索有關(guān)生態(tài)、保護(hù)、管理、設(shè)計/規(guī)劃和景觀作為耦合的人類環(huán)境系統(tǒng)的可持續(xù)性的基本和應(yīng)用研究問題。景觀生態(tài)學(xué)研究的特點是空間顯式方法，即直接分析景觀要素的空間屬性和布局，并將其與生態(tài)過程聯(lián)系起來。景觀生態(tài)學(xué)是生態(tài)學(xué)、自然保護(hù)、生態(tài)系統(tǒng)管理、景觀規(guī)劃與設(shè)計等領(lǐng)域的研究人員和實踐者的寶貴資源，目前是這些領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)先期刊之一。

Landscape Ecology is the flagship journal of a well-established and rapidly developing interdisciplinary science that focuses explicitly on the ecological understanding of spatial heterogeneity. Landscape Ecology draws together expertise from both biophysical and socioeconomic sciences to explore basic and applied research questions concerning the ecology, conservation, management, design/planning, and sustainability of landscapes as coupled human-environment systems. Landscape ecology studies are characterized by spatially explicit methods in which spatial attributes and arrangements of landscape elements are directly analyzed and related to ecological processes. A valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners in ecology, conservation, ecosystem management, and landscape planning and design, Landscape Ecology is currently one of the leading journals across these fields.
