Biogeocenosis a combination on a specific area of the Earth's surface of atmosphere, mineral strata, soil, vegetation animal and microbial life, water-possessing its own specific type of interactions of these components and interchange of their matter and energy among themselves and other natural phenomena

Biogeocenosis(contd) being in constant movement and development(Sukachev 1964) combines ecosystem and landscape ecology concepts, ie. both spatial pattern and process unfortunately, the term is not widely used NB: Verdansky 1940s: Biogeochemical cycles global scale)
Biogeocenosis (cont’d) ….being in constant movement and development (Sukachev 1964) combines ecosystem and landscape ecology concepts, ie. both spatial pattern and process unfortunately, the term is not widely used! NB: Verdansky 1940s: Biogeochemical cycles (global scale)
Landscape Ecology post 1980s in north america, the origins of the term were largely forgotten emphasis on disturbance ecology, ie the ecology of landscapes fragmented by human perturbation emphasis on spatial configuration(ie pattern forcing process

Landscape Ecology: 1. Interactions between plants, animals, micro organisms and physical environment 2 Examines ecological processes and structures at plot, landscape, region, global scales 3. Spatial configuration taken into account 4 Factors in biophysical heterogeneity and disturbance 5. Provides tools and concepts for studying disturbance ecology
