对气候变化的预测表明，温度、降雨量以及极端天气的频率和时间都会发生重大变化，全世界的变化程度和模式各不相同。虽然这些模式变化的细节仍然不确定，但我们可以肯定的是，这些模式变化对景观的生态过程和功能产生了深远的影响。气候变化的影响将影响所有类型的土地利用、生态系统服务以及人类行为。景观生态学的核心业务是景观格局和过程的相互作用。这些相互作用中的大多数都将受到气候模式变化的影响，这显然是我们科学的重点。然而，气候变化很少受到景观生态学家的关注。我们错过了船吗？为什么我们的科学没有帮助建立一个知识库来帮助解决这个巨大的问题？为什么很少有人关注景观对气候变化的适应？通过这篇社论文章，IALE希望从景观生态学科学界获得有关景观适应气候变化的相关研究的投入，以及帮助景观规划者和利益相关者应对景观生态学可以发挥关键作用的新挑战的工具或方法。
Predictions of climate change suggest major changes in temperature, rainfall as well as in frequency and timing of extreme weather, all in varying degrees and patterns around the world. Although the details of these patterns changes are still uncertain, we can be sure of profound effects on ecological processes in and functioning of landscapes. The impact of climate change will affect all types of land use, ecosystem services, as well as the behavior of humans. The core business of Landscape Ecology is the interaction of landscape patterns and processes. Most of these interactions will be affected by changing climate patterns, so clearly within the focus of our science. Nevertheless, climate change received little attention from landscape ecologists. Are we missing the boat? Why is it that our science does not contribute to building a knowledge base to help solving this immense problem? Why is there so little attention paid to adaptation of landscape to climate change? With this editorial article IALE would like to receive inputs from the Landscape Ecology scientific community in related research on adaptation of landscapes to climate change, on tools or approaches to help landscape planners and stakeholders to this new challenge where landscape ecology can play a key role.
