2 Is Landscape Ecology a useful discipline? „...Just behind us is a cluster of bright and very bright ideas about landscape ecology concepts........what are we going to do with that, what is the use of it... And how does it lead us further on our way?“ I. Zonneveld, 1st IALE President 1985, about the 1. Roskilde Landscape Ecology „Seminar“ in 1984 30 yrs ago... „......and often more pure scientists do not feel at ease with the practical appliers of science.....“

Especially our friends from the New World are concentrating on this subject...for several of them landscape Ecology is just biology in the Landscape“ „The visual perception aspect is a special one, even treated in a special workshop. The perception aspect of the landscape indeed requires special attention...visual properties may escape the attention of biologists and geographers“...thanks to an ongoing international discourse
