Landscape Development

Bautätigkeit in Witikon

Landscapes are continually changing. These changes occur on a large scale at a slow pace. At WSL we are investigating their causes and the effects they have on humans and the environment. This research provides a sound scientific basis for sustainable landscape development, which aims at (a) protecting landscape quality and (b) fostering the identification of the population with their everyday landscape.

Landscape Research Center WSL

Zentrum Landschaft In spring 2012 WSL established the Landscape Research Center which has the following aims:
  • Disseminate knowledge to stakeholders working in landscape management
  • Act as a link between researchers at WSL and other scientists
  • Promote research and teaching in Landscape Research

In focus

Landscape genetics: making the invisible visible
Landscape genetics

Landscape genetics combines landscape ecology and population genetics, enabling connections to be made between the dispersal of plants and animals on the one hand and landscape elements that act as barriers or corridors on the other. Landscape genetics therefore provides a relevant basis for the planning and implementation of nature conservation measures.
