This intricate structure creates multiple layers of ecological and socioeconomic interactions that influence how land is used, valued, and managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite increasing awareness of environmental sustainability, the absence of comprehensive continental and national accounting systems for landscape evaluation has hindered the full recognition of landscapes as vital components of economic systems. Bridging this gap requires new methods to quantify and interpret landscape functions, services, and transformations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book proposes an integrative approach to landscape assessment--combining official statistics, field surveys, remote sensing, forest inventories, and spatial analysis. It demonstrates how these diverse tools can be harnessed to evaluate both quantitative and qualitative aspects of natural ecosystems, offering a clearer understanding of how landscapes contribute to environmental resilience and economic well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough practical examples and detailed case studies, this book provides an essential framework for scholars, environmental planners, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to connect ecological insights with sustainable regional development and policy design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessia D'Agata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8743811086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788743811084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e River Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Alessia D'Agata","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997309317375,"sku":"9788743811084","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landscape-complexity-alessia-dagata-9788743811084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
