Context

Landscape ecology as an interdisciplinary science has great potential to inform landscape planning, an integrated, collaborative practice on a regional scale. It is commonly assumed that landscape ecological concepts play a key role in this quest.

Objectives

The aim of the paper is to identify landscape ecological concepts that are currently receiving attention in the scientific literature, analyze the prevalence of these concepts and understand how these concepts can inform the steps of the planning processes, from goal establishment to monitoring.

Methods

We analyzed all empirical and overview papers that have been published in four key academic journals in the field of landscape ecology and landscape planning in the years 2015–2019 (n = 1918). Title, abstract and keywords of all papers were read in order to identify landscape ecological concepts. A keyword search was applied to identify the use of these and previously mentioned concepts in common steps of the planning cycle.

Results

The concepts Structure, Function, Change, Scale, Landscape as human experience, Land use, Landscape and ecosystem services, Green infrastructure, and Landscape resilience were prominently represented in the analyzed literature. Landscape ecological concepts were most often mentioned in context of the landscape analysis steps and least in context of goal establishment and monitoring.

Conclusions

The current literature spots landscape ecological concepts with great potential to support landscape planning. However, future studies need to address directly how these concepts can inform all steps in the planning process.

规划中的景观生态概念：回顾近期发展

语境

景观生态学作为一门跨学科科学，具有为景观规划提供信息的巨大潜力，这是一种区域范围内的综合协作实践。人们普遍认为景观生态概念在这一探索中起着关键作用。

目标

本文的目的是确定目前在科学文献中受到关注的景观生态概念，分析这些概念的流行程度，并了解这些概念如何为规划过程的各个步骤提供信息，从目标建立到监测。

方法

我们分析了 2015-2019 年（n = 1918）在景观生态和景观规划领域的四个主要学术期刊上发表的所有经验和概述论文。阅读所有论文的标题、摘要和关键词，以确定景观生态概念。应用关键字搜索来确定这些和前面提到的概念在规划周期的常见步骤中的使用。

结果

结构、功能、变化、规模、景观作为人类经验、土地利用、景观和生态系统服务、绿色基础设施和景观复原力等概念在分析的文献中得到了突出体现。景观生态概念最常在景观分析步骤的背景下被提及，而在目标建立和监测的背景下则最少。

结论

当前的文献发现景观生态概念具有支持景观规划的巨大潜力。然而，未来的研究需要直接解决这些概念如何为规划过程中的所有步骤提供信息。
