摘要:This is the introduction to the Ecology and Society special feature on "Applying Landscape Science to NaturalResource Management". Primarily drawing upon examples from Australia, the nine papers in the feature illustrate how landscapescience seeks to integrate information from diverse sources to generate management solutions for implementation by individualland managers, communities, and governments at different levels. This introduction refers to the genesis of the feature, brieflyoutlines the nature and content of landscape science, and then summarizes key features of the nine papers. These are organizedinto two sections: one deals with inputs from human agents in the landscape, and one with the development of models enablingdifferent management scenarios and environmental changes to be envisaged, understood, and applied to policy development
