This effort would focus on the development of multifunctional landscapes‚ guided by the rapidly growing knowledge base of ecosystem services provided by landscape features. Although the conventional approach to landscape ecology is based on a model that assumes poor ecological quality in the human-dominated matrix‚ a review of recent literature reveals important opportunities to improve the quality of the landscape matrix by increasing spatial heterogeneity through the addition

all and only individual living things. This concept‚ in conjunction with the slightly less expanded sentio-centrism of Peter Singer and Tom Regan and the further-expanded moral consideration of the biotic community inherent in ecocentrism and deep ecology‚ more explicitly defines the moral obligations of humans with regard to environmental policy. The concept of radical equality is perhaps the most contentious claim of biocentrists; however it is neither necessary nor detrimental to the usefulness

Interrelationships among the Different Components of the Ecosystem I. Introduction Ecology is the study of environmental systems‚ or as it is sometimes called‚ the economy of nature (Hall and Weiss‚ 2010). It studies interactions between different organisms and their environments‚ including relations within its own species and members of others. Ecology focuses more on the population‚ community‚ and ecosystem ecology although it also includes a wide variety of fields. Both the living (biotic) and the
