Description
Landscape pattern is generated by a variety of processes, including disturbances. In turn, the heterogeneity of the landscape may enhance or retard the spread of disturbance. This volume in Ecological Studies provides the reader with a state-of-the-art review of the complex relationship between landscape patterns and disturbance and presents current theory and concepts, empirical studies, and management examples. It will be of particular interest to researchers and students in ecology, forestry, landscape architecture, geography, and resource management.
