Landscape ecology - geogpaphical research direction or an interdisciplinary research programme?

Rok, strany: 1988, 3 - 11

In international science landscape ecology is much discussed in recent years, this being considered a new branch of an interdisciplinary character. In so doing it is gone out from the term and not from the orientation existing in geography since the times of A. von Humboldt. In the past century this research direction was named landscape physiology and the last one, i. e. landscape ecology, was obtained in 1939. Landscape ecology was formed as a research direction aimed at studying the balance of processes in the landscape, the processes being the basis of solving relationships between man and his environment. With this dimension landscape ecology acquires a significant social chargé and becomes basic tool in solving ra-tional utilization of the landscape. Its central concept is landscape potential assigning it a prognostic character.
