About the Journal

Landscape Dynamics Review (LDR) is an international, interdisciplinary open-access journal dedicated to advancing transformative research on the dynamic interactions between natural landscapes and human systems. By emphasizing the complex interplay of ecological processes, geospatial patterns, and anthropogenic influences, LDR serves as a leading scholarly platform for cutting-edge studies in landscape ecology, geomorphology, land-use change, ecosystem services, and sustainable landscape planning. The journal bridges academic research, policy development, and practical applications, engaging ecologists, geographers, planners, and policymakers in shaping resilient landscape solutions.

LDR seeks to illuminate the multidimensional relationships within landscape systems, addressing critical challenges at the interface of environmental change and human activities. Through rigorous peer-reviewed publications, the journal advances innovative methodologies, including geospatial analysis, landscape modeling, and scenario planning, to promote sustainable landscape management. These efforts target pressing global priorities such as climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, urban-rural integration, and cultural landscape preservation.

The journal prioritizes integrative approaches to landscape research, encompassing key domains like:

• Landscape pattern-process relationships

• Geomorphic and ecological dynamics

• Land-use and cover change

• Ecosystem services assessment

• Landscape connectivity and fragmentation

• Cultural and historical landscapes

• Landscape-scale climate adaptation
