Landscape ecology is the study of interactions,
across space and time,
between the structure and function of physical, biological and cultural components of landscapes;
marine, freshwater, and on land. "Landscape" means an area, as perceived by
people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors
