Abstract: | Landscape ecology has a temporal dimension, and the role of past processes in shaping landscapes is increasingly recognised.
To date, the interface between landscape ecology and palaeoecology has proved most productive in understanding the impacts
of climate change and in discovering the extent of past human impacts on ecosystems. Further areas of synergy are emerging.
This Perspective gives selected examples of five main areas of synergy between palaeoecology and landscape ecology: dynamic
landscape mosaics; resilience and thresholds; biocomplexity; adaptive cycles; and in the landscape ecology of invasive spread. |
