About the Talk

While biodiversity is a goal for many landscape architects and designers, few projects utilize science to document the impacts of designed landscapes on ecosystems or species. Featuring a series of case studies from Landscape Interactions' own practice, this session will present diverse approaches to understanding how landscape interactions influence the biodiversity of sites and communities.
