Key concepts and research priorities for landscape sustainability

A recurrent question in landscape ecology has been: What is at the cutting-edge of research and application? The most thought-provoking debates and contributions in landscape ecology have occurred when scientists have mixed things up by crossing boundaries through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary activities including discussions and collaborations. One of the main outcomes of these activities is the debate about which issues are critical to the evolution of landscape ecology's epistemology and its future research and application agenda.
