IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Party

The Landscape Ecology Working Party (8.01.02) is part of IUFRO Division 8 (Forest Environment) and Unit 8.01 (Forest Ecosystem Functions).
The WP was created in 1991 to bridge the gap between the theory of landscape ecology and its application into the management of forest resources. In 2021 we are celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the working party.
