Landscape Ecology in Theory and Practice by Monica G Turner

Landscape Ecology in Theory and Practice by Monica G Turner

This work provides in-depth analysis of the origins of landscape ecology and its close alignment with the understanding of scale, the causes of landscape pattern, and the interactions of spatial pattern with a variety of ecological processes.

“The book is still structured in a series of chapters well arranged both for a thorough introduction to the field and for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate university courseEach chapter concludes with a set of discussion questions and suggestions for further reading. … I will be using this new edition in my landscape ecology class in the fall, and I suspect many others will be as well.” (Joshua J. Lawler, Ecology, Vol. 98 (8), August, 2017) 

“‘Landscape Ecology in Theory and Practice’ is probably the most comprehensive and updated textbook in landscape ecology available today. It will provide a wonderful introduction to the core landscape principles and concepts for graduate and undergraduate students, but also for more experienced researchers and practitioners that need a review of the most relevant and recent knowledge in the field. This book will beuseful not only to ecologists, but also for students from other fields … .” (Jean Paul Metzger, Landscape Ecology, Vol. 32, 2017)

“This much-revised second edition reflects the burgeoning literature and new ideas in the intervening years. … The book is primarily directed to students in ecology, but conservation biology, resource management, landscape architecture and land planning will also find topics of interest here. … it undoubtedly a fine piece of work by two leading ecologists that deserves to be read and savoured by anyone with an interest in the field of landscape ecology.” (The Bulletin, Vol. 47 (2), June, 2016)
