商品描述
This book stems from two graduate-level courses in Landscape Ecology taught at the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. The subject has evolved over time, from a concepts-based overview of what landscape ecology is, to a more applied practicum on how one does landscape ecology. As landscape ecology has matured as a discipline, its perspectives on spatial heterogeneity and scale have begun to permeate intoa wide range of other fields including conservation biology, ecosystem management, and ecological restoration. Thus, this textbook will bring students from diverse backgrounds to a common level of understanding and will prepare them with the practical knowledge for a career in conservation and ecosystem management.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這是一本專注於景觀尺度研究和管理的關鍵原則的生態學教科書。內容涵蓋了 (1) 圖案的因素（物理模板、生物過程和擾動模式）；(2) 尺度與圖案（為什麼尺度重要、如何使用數據進行「尺度化」以及使用景觀圖案指標進行推論）；以及 (3) 圖案的影響（對於元種群、社群和生物多樣性，以及生態系統過程）。最後兩章探討了新興議題：城市景觀和適應氣候變遷。
這本書源自於杜克大學尼可拉斯環境學院開設的兩門研究生課程，主題是景觀生態學。隨著時間的推移，這個主題從對景觀生態學的概念性概述演變為更具應用性的實習課程，教授如何進行景觀生態學。隨著景觀生態學作為一個學科的成熟，其對空間異質性和尺度的觀點已開始滲透到包括保育生物學、生態系統管理和生態修復等多個其他領域。因此，這本教科書將使來自不同背景的學生達到共同的理解水平，並為他們在保育和生態系統管理的職業生涯中提供實用知識。
作者簡介
Dean Urban is Professor of Landscape Ecology in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. His research focuses on devising innovative and rigorous approaches to applications of immediate practical concern. His research tools include habitat classification and mapping, site prioritization, spatial simulation, and integrated assessment. A hallmark of his work is integrated studies that extrapolate our fine-scale empirical understanding of environmental issues to the larger space and time scales of management and policy. Most of his work in landscape ecology has explored the causes and consequences of spatial pattern in forest systems. Specific interests include the implications of climate change for forest ecosystems, and the consequences of land use pattern on forest habitat connectivity and watershed function in developed landscapes. His current research focus is how land use affects the provision of ecosystem services, and in reconciling human institutions with natural systems.

迪恩·厄本（Dean Urban）是杜克大學尼可拉斯環境學院的景觀生態學教授。他的研究專注於設計創新且嚴謹的方法，以應對當前實際關切的應用問題。他的研究工具包括棲息地分類與繪圖、地點優先排序、空間模擬和綜合評估。他工作的標誌是綜合研究，將我們對環境問題的細微實證理解推廣到管理和政策的更大空間和時間尺度。他在景觀生態學方面的大部分工作探討了森林系統中空間模式的原因和後果。具體興趣包括氣候變遷對森林生態系統的影響，以及土地使用模式對已開發景觀中森林棲息地連通性和流域功能的影響。他目前的研究重點是土地使用如何影響生態系統服務的提供，以及如何調和人類制度與自然系統。
