The unit studies patterns and processes at the
landscape level caused by ecological and anthropogenic drivers. Ecological and
biophysical processes, human activities and the interactions between them are
analyzed over short to long time scales. The spatial scales we study range from
plots, to small watersheds, larger landscapes, continents and hemispheres, to
the globe. Both the analyses and the scaling of patterns and processes along
temporal and spatial dimensions represent an integral field of research of the
unit.
Partners and stakeholders of this Unit include researchers within WSL and in the international scientific community, land users and public administrations.
