課程目標及內涵 (Course Objectives and Contents) :
地景生態學為高年級或研究所的課程，地景生態學(Landscape Ecology)是研究景觀單元的類型組成、空間分布配置及環境生態系統過程相互作用的科學，關注景觀中組成異質性的結構、功能和動態。強調空間組織、生態系統結構和功能與尺度之間的相互作用是景觀生態學研究的核心所在。本課程希望讓同學具備從不同尺度來探索地景上的現象及其變化，希望同學在修課後對於與環境之間關係的探索時能有新的觀察及思考的角度。
Landscape Ecology is a course designed for senior undergraduates or graduate students. It is the scientific study of the composition, spatial distribution, configuration, and interactions of landscape units within environmental ecosystems. It focuses on the heterogeneity of structure, function, and dynamics within landscapes. Emphasizing the interactions between spatial organization, ecosystem structure, function, and scale is central to landscape ecology research. This course aims to enable students to explore phenomena and their changes in landscapes from various scales. It is hoped that after taking this course, students will have new perspectives and thoughts on exploring the relationships with the environment.
