Rather than simply point out these flaws, the authors take further steps in combining topics which take risk assessment into the next century. It is axiomatic that landscape attributes are an important aspect of assessing risk and making decisions, and this work provides a useful mix of theoretical\/conceptual ideas within detailed analyses of new tools available to accomplish the task. It provides the background, purpose, direction, illustrated with examples where the science of risk assessment is heading.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eMark S.

Identifying the relevant spatial and temporal scales is critical for an effective understanding of ecological functions that human societies depend upon. Moreover, human encroachment into natural areas, or changes in climate, can alter spatial relationships, which in turn can negatively affect vital plant and wildlife patterns—and weaken economic structures needed to sustain human societies. This book is the first to combine multiple disciplines into one cohesive strategy to study these crucial connections, and looks toward building a social paradigm that embraces the dynamics of ecological systems.
