This unit explores the role of landscape architecture in the multi- and interdisciplinary practices of landscape systems ecology. Topics include a broad understanding of varying biophysical types and their behavioural systems, including bioregions, landscape character units, species communities, networks, patches, mosaics, corridors, paths, nodes, edges, diversity, representativeness, connectivity and fragmentation. Ecological design principles that investigate scientific insight with creative and constructive environmental design—implying designed human cooperation and biological partnership—are explored via the designed management of air, water, earth, fire and energy, biomass, food,... -- Course Website
