Landscape ecology is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on studying the relationship between spatial patterns and ecological processes across a variety of scales. It examines how the arrangement and composition of different elements in a landscape, such as ecosystems, habitats, and land use types, influence the distribution and dynamics of organisms and ecosystems. Researchers in landscape ecology use a combination of fieldwork, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and ecological modeling to analyze and understand how landscapes are structured and how they function. This research area also addresses how human activities, such as urbanization, agriculture, and deforestation, impact natural ecosystems and biodiversity. Overall, landscape ecology aims to provide insights into how landscapes can be managed and designed to support conservation, sustainable resource management, and the preservation of biodiversity.
