The discipline "Landscape Ecology" is devoted to the study of ecosystem and geosystem levels of nature as objects of ecologists. Landscape ecology has strong interdisciplinary links, in particular with geomorphology, climatology, geophysics and geochemistry, soil science and ecology. It reveals the patterns of metabolism, energy and biodiversity between ecosystems that are part of one or more landscapes, ecological processes and interactions associated with lower territorial landscape units (facies, groups of facies and tracts), the causes of spatial (landscape) heterogeneity in nature and its impact on abiotic and biotic processes, as well as the rational management of this spatial heterogeneity.
