ANNOUNCEMENT | Journal Milestone
Landscape Ecology is a full open access (OA) journal as of January 2024! It now publishes only OA content that is freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse.
CALL FOR PAPERS | Deadline: March 31, 2024
UN SDG 2 (Zero Hunger); SDG 3 (Good Health & Well-being); SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities); SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production); SDG 13 (Climate Action); SDG 15 (Life on Land)
A central issue in the science and practice of landscape sustainability hinges on the landscape pattern-ecosystem services-human wellbeing nexus—which is the theme of this collection.
CALL FOR PAPERS | Deadline: May 1, 2024
UN SDG 3 (Good Health & Well-Being); SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities): Target 11.5, Target 11.7
We are interested in papers that examine the spatial dynamics of pandemics, including (but not limited to COVID-19) spreading, forecasting, management and mitigation, and that also look at the ecological impacts of the “anthropause” due to COVID-19, as well as challenges to research during the first years of the pandemic and continuing on as we learn to “live with COVID”.
CALL FOR PAPERS | Deadline: May 31, 2024
UN SDG 13 (Climate Action); SDG 15 (Life on Land)
This collection will highlight new research that integrates Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) data into landscape-scale analysis.
CALL FOR PAPERS | Deadline: May 31, 2024
UN SDG 1 (End Poverty); SDG 2 (Zero Hunger); SDG 3 (Good Health & Well-being); SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation); SDG 15 (Life on Land)
This collection aims to strengthen the evidence base related to the forest-food nexus and reveal the multitude of pathways by which forests can support food systems through improved agricultural yields and performance.
CALL FOR PAPERS | Deadline: January 15, 2025
UN SDG 2 (Zero Hunger); SDG 15 (Life on Land)
By targeting researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and educators in landscape ecology, agriculture, environmental science, and sustainability, the collection aspires to advance the understanding of agricultural landscapes and their implications for biodiversity, ecosystem services, and yield.
CALL FOR PAPERS | TOPICAL COLLECTION
UN SDG 1-17
Building on and expanding beyond the fundamentals of landscape ecology, landscape sustainability science (LSS) aims to provide a transdisciplinary science foundation for landscape sustainability by emphatically interrogating the landscape pattern-ecosystem services-human wellbeing nexus.
LAST SPECIAL ISSUE | Volume 38, issue 3, March 2023
(this opens in a new tab)
Issue editors: Amy E. Frazier, Peter Kedron, Mary K. Donovan
This special issue responds to and renews the call to expand our understanding of scaling in landscape ecology.
CALL FOR PAPERS | Deadline: December 31, 2023
UN SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production); SDG 13 (Climate Action); 14: Life Below Water; SDG 15 (Life on Land)
This collection will summarize current knowledge on relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem services, and identify research priorities to inform conservation, management and policy actions to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services at landscape scales in the Anthropocene.
FORTHCOMING COLLECTION | Late 2023
UN SDG 2 (Zero Hunger); SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation); SDG 7 (Affordable & Clean Energy); SDG 13 (Climate Action); SDG 15 (Life on Land); SDG 17 (Partnership for the Goals)
We invited contributions that address the current state and potential for future improvements in landscape ecological theory and landscape approaches and their role to help address key territorial and social-ecological challenges in the Iberian context, including: water scarcity and sustainable management, forest fires, soil erosion and desertification processes, conflicts between biodiversity conservation and food security, landscape character and urban-rural conflicts for land-use.
FORTHCOMING COLLECTION | Late 2023
Contributions in this collection will cover three major topic areas: 1. Shifts of ecological patterns in terrestrial systems; 2. Shifts of ecological patterns in aquatic systems; 3. Impacts of global changes on ecosystem processes.
FORTHCOMING COLLECTION | Late 2023
This collection invited experts in landscape ecology, biodiversity monitoring, satellite remote sensing, ecological modelling, coupling artificial intelligence with EOS Data to demonstrate and discuss ways to better capitalise on this technology to find operational solutions for biodiversity conservation, implications for policy and practice.
AUTHOR SERVICE
Landscape Ecology, in partnership with Research Square, now offers In Review: a journal-integrated preprint service.

As a student or ECR (defined as being within one year of award of your PhD degree) listed as the first author of an accepted paper, you will receive a voucher for free access to any Springer eBook.
RECOGNITION
Landscape Ecology congratulates Prof. Jianguo Wu on being awarded the IALE Presidential Award for Outstanding Leadership during IALE 2023 World Congress.
AUTHOR AWARD
The Best Article Award is awarded annually to the best article published in Landscape Ecology.
AUTHOR AWARD ARCHIVE
We invite you to explore this virtual archive of winning and honorable mention articles since 2020.
SOCIETY AFFILIATION
An affiliate of Landscape Ecology, IALE encourages landscape ecologists to transcend boundaries and to work together building theory and developing knowledge of landscape pattern and process, developing integrative tools, and making them applicable to real landscape situations and applying them to solve problems.
