From the Back Cover
Written primarily for researchers and advanced students in environmental and social sciences, this latest book in Springer’s Landscape Series looks at some of the emerging fields and new challenges in landscape research. These include:
- the role of value systems in perceiving, appreciating, and managing landscapes
- the ‘space’ and ‘place’ concept in landscape research
- GIS and remote sensing techniques for gathering and processing spatially and temporally explicit land cover, vegetation, and land use data
- methods of landscape history
- landscape genetics and genetic methods to test landscape connectivity and dispersal of plant and animal species
- palaeoclimatic research, with focus on tree ring based temperature reconstructions
- landscape patterns, processes and model up-scaling
- statistical methods for environmental time series and other observations
Drawing on the expertise of an interdisciplinary team, the book provides a valuable reference for researchers in landscape ecology, landscape perception, conservation biology, ecological modeling, statistics in the environmental sciences and related fields.

A Changing World : Challenges for Landscape Research
Seller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Landscape Research is established as an interdisciplinary field dealing with complex environmental processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Modern landscape research uses mathematics, statistics and advanced simulation techniques to combine empirical observations with known theories from ecology, physics, geography, social science and so on. Knowledge is thus updated and quantified via models that are used for estimation, hypothesis testing, prediction and assessment of scenarios. Advances in the computational sciences, space science and biological sciences as well as new perspectives in the social sciences play important roles. Research findings are implemented in conservation management, urban planning and global change mitigation strategies. This book identifies emerging fields and new challenges that are discussed within the framework of the 'driving forces' of Landscape Development. Rather than offering a comprehensive overview of all fields of Landscape Research, the book addresses 'hot topics' emphasizing major contemporary trends in these fields.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 308 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Landscape Research has been established as an interdisciplinary field dealing with complex environmental processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. During the course of its history, various societal, technological and philosophical stimuli have shaped Landscape Research, e.g. the declaration of Landscape Ecology in the 1930s and contemporary global technological and societal developments.Modern landscape research presently uses mathematics, statistics and advanced simulation techniques to combine empirical observations with known theories from ecology, physics, geography, social science and so on. Knowledge is thus updated and quantified via models that are used for estimation, hypothesis testing, prediction and assessment of scenarios. Advances in the computational sciences (e.g. fast computers and vast array of software), space science (e.g. remote sensing) and biological sciences (e.g. genetics) as well as new perspectives in the social sciences play important roles. Research findings are implemented in conservation management, urban planning and global change mitigation strategies.This book identifies emerging fields and new challenges that are discussed within the framework of the ¿driving forces¿ of Landscape Development. Rather than offering a comprehensive overview of all fields of Landscape Research, the book addresses ¿hot topics¿ emphasizing major contemporary trends in these fields. Seller Inventory # 3554982/2
