The authors develop the ideas of hierarchical organization of a landscape and strong relationships between abiotic and biotic components with equal attention to both vertical fluxes and lateral transfer. Three-dimensional representation of landscape involves strong emphasis on abiotic drivers of pattern development including relief, geological structures and runoff. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe objective of this book is to demonstrate the multiplicity of models and multiscale approach to description and explanation of landscape pattern, functioning, dynamics, and evolution. The contributions deal with various hierarchical levels ranging from within-unit interior variability to between-units interaction at landscape level, as well as regional and supra-regional zonal patterns. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDivided into 8 clear parts, the 28 chapters treat spatial pattern in one of the following aspects: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e indicator of actual matter and energy flows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e control over actual processes including disturbance expansion as well as determinant of future development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e indicator of genesis and prerequisite for future trends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e driver for short-term dynamics of processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e response to climatic and anthropogenic influences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e factor of settlement network and land use adaptation at various historical epochs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e framework for actual land use spatial arrangement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis contributed volume is written for researchers and students in the field of landscape ecology, physical geography, environmental impact assessment, and ecological planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45273966805143,"sku":"9783030311872","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030311872.webp?v=1769238224","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/landscape-patterns-in-a-range-of-spatio-temporal-scales-9783030311872","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
