Abstract
In 1983, 25 scientist from the United States and elesewhere gathered for a workshop designed to define the concept of landscape ecology as it applied to the United States, to draw conclusions about the future of landscape ecology as a developing discipline, and to describe the key scientific questions (Riser et al. 1984).
