Landscape Ecology - a rapidly growing science - quantifies the ways ec osystems interact. It establishes links between activities in one regi on and repercussions in another. Landscape Ecology: A Top Down Approac h serves as a general introduction to this emerging area of study. In this book the authors take a "top down" approach. They believe that c ontext is equally as important as content and that an isolated, dismem bered landscape fragment loses biodiversity. In contrast, past and cur rent ecosystem studies have not considered the consequences of outside influences.
