Landscape Scale

Landscape scale in landscape ecology refers to the larger geographic area that includes various ecosystems, habitats, and features, such as forests, rivers, and urban areas. It emphasizes understanding how these different elements interact with each other and influence biodiversity, species movement, and ecological processes. By studying landscapes at this scale, scientists can identify patterns and factors that affect ecosystems, guiding effective conservation and land-use planning. Essentially, it's about looking at the bigger picture of how nature operates across vast spaces, rather than just focusing on individual sites.
