Landscape ecology
Journal Article

· BioScience; (United States)
In this paper the authors outline an approach to landscape study that employs a hierarchical paradigm of pattern and behavior. Although emphasis is on forested landscapes, we can generalize a theory of landscape ecology. Attention is focused on the wide range of phenomena in a natural terrestrial landscape by considering the apparent complexity of landscape dynamics and illustrating how a hierarchical paradigm lends itself to simplifying such complexity. This perspective also affords insights into the management of man-dominated landscapes.
