FROM ROOTS TO NEXT STEPS IN 10 MINUTES
Landscape ecology
is the study of spatial
variation in
landscapes at a
variety of scales.
It includes the
biophysical and
societal causes and
consequences of
landscape
heterogeneity.
OUR FOCUS IS AGRICULTURE
as one of the major process that modify
landscapes and integrates biophysical
and societal patterns
THIS IS A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY
putting to the test the “landscape
agronomy” conceptual framework a few
years after the opinion papers.

#LandscapeAgronomy: Bibliometric insights
How farmers are designing future agricultural landscapes?
Everyday farmers manage
and shape the interactions
between (a)biotic driving
forces and the landscape
(and resource) monitoring.
Landscape agronomy
provides a framework to
include the active role of
farming practices in
shaping patterns and
changing processes.
