Reviews / Votes
"As with the previous edition, the volume is designed around teaching, including structured exercises and a very helpful guide to designing specific courses of study relating to applied aspects of landscape ecology, from conservation and forestry to sustainable management of landscapes and watersheds. It is also supported by free software and data, now provided online. If you study or teach landscape ecology, you need this book." (Erle C. Ellis, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 93 (2), June, 2018)More details
