| Popis: | Recognition of the importance of landscape attributes and processes in determining ecological status and trends has increased over the past few years. For example, fragmentation and simplication of landscape composition, structure and function at local to continental scales is implicated in degradation of the global environment, including declines in biological diversity and increased vulnerability or risk to global climate change. Although landscape fragmentation and associated ecosystem decline is thought to be widespread, we lack a comprehensive monitoring program to determine the extent and magnitude in status and trends of landscape conditions. Furthermore, landscape ecology is in its formative years; therefore, methods for classifying, monitoring, and analyzing landscapes are still being developed. This paper describes conceptual approaches and strategies for a landscape monitoring program that is being developed as part of a comprehensive monitoring program known as the Environmental Monitoring and... |
