Landscape ecology has the potential to contribute significantly to landscape sustainability and there are some signs of integrated, solution-driven research (Wu 2006), but its real impact on sustainable landscape management and planning is still limited (Naveh 2007). Similar to much environmental research, there is a lack of policy uptake, and a lack of implementation of research outcomes from landscape ecology.
1997), restoration and landscape ecology have an ‘‘unexplored mutualistic relationship that could enhance research and application of both disciplines’’. A landscape approach recognises that the whole is more than the sum of the parts, and may assist in addressing spatial and temporal prioritisation issues related to practical constraints in restoration actions (Possingham and Nicholson 2007). Restoration can also benefit landscape ecology by providing information derived from restoration ecology projects to test basic questions, especially those linked to landscape structure and function (Bell et al.
