- The University of Massachusetts, Amherst Landscape Ecology Program conducts the
study of landscape patterns, the interactions among the elements of pattern,
how patterns and interactions change over time, and the application of these
principles in the formulation and solving of real-world problems. Thus,
landscape ecology is defined best by its focus on spatial heterogeneity and
pattern; specifically, how to characterize it, where it comes from, why it
matters, how it changes through time, and how we manage it.
