Methods

The group mainly works with models (process models, statistical models, cellular automata models and agent-based models) but also uses empirical fieldwork (e.g. C estimation of urban trees, mapping of land-use, role games, causal-loop-diagraming).

Projects & Research

 

The Landscape Ecology Lab is involved in the Global Land Project (GLP), the Urbanization and Global Environmental Change Project (UGEC) and the City Biodiversity Outlook (CBO) of the UN.
