Landscape Structure

Landscape structure refers to the arrangement and organization of different elements within a landscape, such as ecosystems, habitats, and human-made features. In landscape ecology, it involves understanding how these elements interact and how their distribution affects ecological processes, species movement, and biodiversity. A well-structured landscape fosters ecological balance, while fragmentation or poor arrangement can lead to challenges like habitat loss or decreased species diversity. By studying landscape structure, we can better manage and conserve environments to promote healthy ecosystems and sustainable interactions between nature and people.
