Description
Summary:This report starts by defining key landscape concepts, including landscape scale, ecosystem services, mosaics, and fragmentation, which provide a foundation for understanding ecosystem functionality and biodiversity in complex landscapes. It then applies this framework to the agroecology living landscape in Kef and Siliana, Tunisia, highlighting the region's ecosystem diversity, including its rich flora and fauna. This is followed by an assessment of natural habitat dynamics and landscape metrics at both the living landscape and the transect levels in Kef and Siliana. These methods aim to inform a set of recommendations for effective landscape restoration and sustainable land management in the region.
