Landscape ecology specifically addresses the importance of spatial configuration for ecological processes. The central themes are: 1) detecting a pattern, and expressing it in quantitative terms; 2) identifying and describing the agents of pattern formation; 3) understanding the ecological implications of the pattern; 4) spatially and temporally characterizing the changes in pattern and process; 5) and managing landscapes to achieve human objectives (RTT Forman, M Turner).

Together with the aesthetic functions, patterns of landscape address important environmental as well as sociohistorical functions in a web of interactions whose complexity is generally related to its ecological value.

Exploring the ecological value of urban and semi-natural landscapes, mondotrame provides solutions for their redevelopment and sustainable management.

Mondotrame stays for landscape patterns.
