Publisher's cover art
A fully open access journal published by Springer Nature on landscape ecology, an interdisciplinary science that relates the spatial arrangement of landscapes to ecological processes. It publishes basic and applied research that draws on both biophysical and socioeconomic sciences and deals with the ecology, conservation, management, design and planning of landscapes as coupled human-environment systems.

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.
