Journal's Aims and Scope Landscape Online focuses on studies dealing with research in landscape ecology and contributions on landscape research with inter- or transdisciplinary aspiration.The subject matter deals with any scientific, educational or applied aspect of processes, dynamics, indicators, controllers and visions related to landscapes. Furthermore, Landscape Online emphasizes the coupling of societal and natural systems, not only the involvement of human impact on landscape systems but also human perception of the landscape, its values and the evaluation of landscapes. Moreover, articles are appropriate that deal with landscape theory, system approaches and conceptual models of landscape, both their improvement and their discussion. aRTICLE All kinds of articles or parts of it must not be published beforehand in another journal.
