Landscape ecology is the study of interacting ecosystems within a heterogeneous, or varied, environment with a spatial scale of several kilometers. Landscape ecologists incorporate knowledge from multiple disciplines, including ecology and geology, to better understand the structure, function, and dynamics of interacting ecosystems, and to develop sustainable land-use management practices.
Short articles about current and recent projects using geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analysis in conservation and management of species and landscapes. Projects involve habitat modeling and linking landscape data to population viability www.ramas.com/consgis.htm
Describes an integrated environment for high performance spatial modeling, called the Spatial Modeling Environment (SME). Includes examples of ecological applications. www.uvm.edu/giee/SME3
