species-environments
Theory and concepts
Lecture notes for the Landscape Ecology course in the Master's programme in Geography and Geomatics at Universiteit Gent (2024/2025). The document covers core concepts including the patch-corridor-matrix model, landscape metrics, ecological hierarchy, percolation theory, and the central feedback loops between pattern and process. It progresses from theoretical foundations through vegetation mapping and monitoring methods to practical applications in ecosystem services, green infrastructure, and spatial planning, with real-world case studies from urban spaces and Zanzibar. Essential for understanding landscape ecology principles and their applications - well-suited for exam preparation and assignments involving landscape analysis and spatial pattern quantification.
