9 Preface Currently considered a bridge between basic and applied ecology, landscape ecology occupies an important new niche in ecology, representing a new star in the galaxy of the ecological sciences. However, the broad spectrum of conceptual and methodological approaches has created a nonfocused science strongly influenced by the more dominant disciplines, such as landscape planning and restoration, forest management, landscape architecture etc. The uncertain position of landscape ecology among the ecological disciplines is in contradiction with the general recognition that landscape is a spatial dimension in which important ecological processes occur, and landscape is becoming very popular in many ecology-related fields, from plant disease to animal behaviour. There is a considerable amount of literature covering most of the themes of landscape ecology, and the theoretical frameworks are convincing enough to delineate new approaches and interpretations of ecological complexity. The literature is growing very fast, but as in many other pioneering disciplines a common framework is lacking and the topics often move from a human-oriented landscape ecology to simply large-scale ecology. In fact, landscape ecology is of two distinct kinds: the first is connected to European culture and its greater experience of landscape ecology, especially in the field of evaluation, management and restoration. The second has developed in North America over the last two decades, characterized by a theoretical basis and sophisticated methodologies producing complex studies beyond the ecosystem scale. The presence of these two approaches is in some measure positive, and allows for the interchange of experience and points of view. In fact, in the last decade landscape ecology has found a multitude of cultural initiatives, centred on the International Association for Landscape Ecology (lale), and a number of working groups have been successfully established in local ecological societies and in other NGO organizations. Two possibilities exist to expand landscape ecology: one consists of developing new research, and the other in developing a good educational framework. Both are important and not in conflict. In this spirit I have prepared this book, with the aim of summarizing the best theories, concepts, principles and methods in landscape ecology. It is an attempt to reinforce the ecological research perspective, to consolidate principles and methods, validate procedures and reconcile different positions, including the geobotanic, animal and human perspectives. The concept is very simple. I have no ambition to present new ideas and theories: I have worked to create a tool mainly for classroom use but also appealing to a broad range of scientists and practitioners dealing with landscape ecology and its problems. The selection of a simple and sufficiently contemporary objective conceptual path is difficult because of the personal interpretation of the discipline. The theoretical basis, the contribution of other disciplines, emerging processes and patterns, managing applications and methods are the main steps that I have utilized in this exciting journey. Each chapter contains a summary of the main points discussed and suggested reading. The book is not comprehensive, neither for topics nor for references, but I have tried to maintain a good balance between the types of literature suggested. Often my background as a naturalist has prevailed, but the percentages of literature for the different topics have been respected and it is hardly surprising that animal studies dominate in landscape ecology. In some cases it was not easy to make the best choice, either because of the great number of studies (e.g. on the effect of fragmentation on animal populations) or because too few were available (e.g. soil landscape and flux of nutrients). Some comments are necessary to explain the general outline of the book. In the introduction I have tried to avoid long historical perspectives, focusing more on the real object of landscape ecology and on good definitions. I have also highlight-
10 xii PREFACE ed the contribution of related ecological disciplines in the creation of a strong conceptual framework. The description of new theories, such as percolation, metapopulation, hierarchy etc., precedes the more detailed approach. Emerging processes (fragmentation and disturbance, connectivity and ecological fluxes) and patterns (heterogeneity and ecotones) occupy the central part of the book. Landscape dynamics, management and nature conservation are all extensively described. The last chapter is devoted to methods. Special emphasis is placed on indices describing the structure of the landscape mosaic, from Euclidean to fractal geometry. Geographical information and global positioning systems have been included as indispensable tools. Remote sensing procedures and spatially explicit models occupy the final part of the book, with very simple routines for measuring landscape structure and complexity. These routines may be improved and incorporated into more sophisticated programs. I have tried to encourage measurement of the landscape using simple tools, because of the frustration felt by those who do not have access to the expensive and powerful computation and remote sensing facilities of super-specialized advanced research centres. I am perfectly aware of the limitations of this book; I am also conscious that many perspectives have not been discussed, such as the socioeconomic implications. Most of the pictures and examples are from my preferred study area (northern Apennines, Italy). The environmental and cultural complexity of this region, like most of the Mediterranean basin, is an exciting field in which to test and apply landscape principles and methodologies, and is an inexhaustible source of scientific creativity. I am indebted to many people, and in particular to Zev Naveh for his invaluable encouragement. I am grateful also to Francesco Di Castri for his friendship and support during the preparation of this book.
11 Foreword Landscape ecology has its roots in the long tradition of central and eastern European geobotanists, ecologists, geographers, landscape planners and architects who were not content with the present state of their sciences and professions. They strived to present their rich and heterogeneous landscapes in more holistic ways, as the spatial and functional integration of nature, humans and land, so that their studies could be of practical value in landscape appraisal, planning, management, conservation and restoration. However, chiefly because of language and cultural barriers it remained a rather restricted 'continental' science until it was joined more than twenty years ago by the 'second generation' of a large group of far-sighted - and chiefly North American - ecologists and geographers. These realized the theoretical and methodological relevance of landscape ecology and the need for broadening the spatial scales of ecosystem ecology for the study of the ordered complexity of natural and cultural landscapes. The two groups joined together and founded the International Association of Landscape Ecology (IALE). Fortunately these developments coincided with the dramatic advances in remote sensing and satellite imaging with finer and finer resolutions over larger and larger areas and with the progress in processing larger masses of data in smaller and cheaper computers with more sophisticated and comprehensive modelling methods. Since then landscape ecology has spread its wings all over the world both in industrialized and developing countries as one of the youngest and most dynamic branches of contemporary environmental science. The author of this book, Dr Almo Farina, is the first one of the 'third generation' who not only followed in the footsteps of both these founder groups but contributed a new milestone to its further development and especially to the education of the next generation of landscape ecologists, academians and professionals. He took upon himself the challenge to provide a meaningful synthesis of what he considered to be the 'best theory, concept, principles and methods' which are presently applied in a multitude of landscape-ecological studies and are published in the journal of 'Landscape Ecology' and in many other journals and scientific publications. Presenting in a lucid way some of the most relevant new ideas, theories and paradigms, he succeeds also in reconciling the diverse geological, biological and human perspectives. At the same time he provides his own original, well-versed and well-balanced contribution to contemporary landscape ecology as a holistic, quantitative and problem-solving oriented science for the promotion of sustainable, healthy and productive landscapes. Although dealing in a systematic way with a large body of rather complex scientific information, such as fractal dimensions, numerical and spatial data processing and geographic information systems, this book is far from being dry, technical and detached from reality. On the contrary it is very lively with many fine illustrations and with many practical examples. While reading through its chapters I could sense that it was written by one who is eager to communicate not only his own knowledge and holistic perception of landscapes as a hybrid nature-culture gestalt systems, but also his close personal attachment to the biological and cultural assets of his Appenine mountain and rural landscapes in which he grew up, and lives and works, and where he carries out his own research. A great advantage, in my opinion, is the fact that this book was not written by a purely academic scientist, spending most of his time sitting in an office behind a computer, trying to publish as many possible 'scholarly' works to further his own reputation. Dr Farina started his professional career as a high school teacher in biology and is still very active in public education as Director of the Museum for Natural History at Aulla, Italy (which was established and is maintained thanks to his initiative to preserve one of the most outstanding historical landscape monuments of this region). He started his research as an enthusiastic ornithologist but very soon realized the great potentials of land-
12 xiv FOREWORD scape ecology, which fitted very well with his deeply ingrained perception of the landscape as a whole, and his intellectual abilities for acquiring the most advanced methods available and to tum these into practical tools for the study, management and conservation of landscapes. Dr Farina is not only active in these local issues but is also deeply involved in the broader issues of the future of Mediterranean landscapes in Italy and in the Mediterranean Basin. He also served for four years as the secretary of the IALE. I am confident that this book will serve very well as both a textbook and as a handbook for those involved in landscape ecological study, research and education, as well as for many others from closely related fields of natural and human sciences dealing with land use. I am also hopeful that it will help to bridge the gaps between these different fields so that landscape ecology can be realized as one of the most important integrative environmental sciences in this crucial transition period from the industrial to the information age.
