A major goal of landscape ecology is to understand the interactions between spatial pattern and ecological processes, the role of scale, and hierarchical linkages in heterogeneous landscapes that are increasingly shaped by human activities. This understanding is essential not only for unraveling how nature works, but also for developing a harmonious relationship between humanity and nature. In the past two decades, landscape ecologists have addressed various aspects of this goal through numerous theoretical and empirical studies. As we embark a new stage of landscape ecology in the 21^st century, it is important to reflect on the advances that have been made and to identify new directions that must be taken toward this goal. Therefore, the theme of the 2001 US-IALE Symposium will be understanding the interactions among pattern, process, scale, and hierarchy in human-dominated and natural landscapes, with a special emphasis on landscapes that have been most profoundly modified by humans — the urban environment. The symposium will focus on the following topics:

• What do we know about the relationships among pattern, process, scale, and hierarchy, and how do these relationships differ between natural and human-dominated landscapes?
• How do spatial heterogeneity and hierarchical structure affect the translations of information across scales in different landscapes, or how do we scale up pattern and process in heterogeneous landscapes?
• How can theory and principles on pattern-process interactions, scaling, and hierarchy be applied to landscape management, landscape architecture, urban planning, and nature conservation?
• What new technologies and methods are available for facilitating our study of the relationship among pattern, process, scale, and hierarchy, and how?
• What role does long term ecological research play in landscape ecology, and what have we learned from the existing urban LTER studies?
• How can natural and social sciences be more effectively integrated into landscape ecology? How can the ongoing discussion on the relationship between culture and nature influence the development of theory and practice in landscape ecology?
• How can we effectively integrate landscape ecology with the design and planning of landscapes? What is the significance of the relationship between urbanism and landscape ecology?

Dr. Steward T. A. Pickett received a B.S. from the University of Kentucky in 1972 and Ph.D in plant ecology in 1977 from University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. He served on the faculty of Rutgers University until 1987 and then joined the staff of Institute of Ecosystem Studies where he currently holds the rank of Senior Scientist. His research interests encompass both conceptual and empirical studies of vegetation dynamics and natural disturbance, focusing on the mechanisms of post-agricultural vegetation development, and the role of disturbance-generated heterogeneity in the vegetation dynamics in primary forest. Studies focusing on the dynamics of ecological landscapes include experiments on the function of forest edges, the role of patchiness in diversity and productivity in the Negev Desert, and the structure and dynamics of cities as ecological systems. This last interest has led to his serving as the Director of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, one of two urban Long-Term Ecological Research sites supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Dr. Pickett has coedited five books, including the classic, The Ecology of Patch Dynamics and Natural Disturbance (1985, with P.S. White), Ecological Heterogeneity (1991, with J. Kolasa), and Humans As Components of Ecosystems (1993 with M.J. McDonnell). His approximately 110 scientific papers range from concerns with the structure of ecological theory, to the application of ecology to conservation, to the development of ecological approaches for studying urban areas. Dr. Pickett was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1992, and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1993. Contributions to the development and application of the profession of ecology include service as the inaugural Vice President for Science, Chairperson of the Membership Committee, and a member of the Council of the Ecological Society of America. He has also served on the Council of the International Association for Vegetation Science, the Science Advisory Board of the National Center for Ecological Synthesis and Analysis, the Biology Advisory Committee of the National Science Foundation, and the Board of Defenders of Wildlife.

Pattern and process in the human-dominated landscape of central Arizona Dr. Charles L. Redman and Dr. Nancy B. Grimm Co-Directors of Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research Project Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA

Abstract  The Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) project is a multifaceted study aimed at answering the question, "How does the pattern of development of the city alter ecological conditions of the city and its surrounding environment, and vice versa?" Central to answering this question is understanding how land-use change is driven by societal decisions, how these decisions alter ecological pattern and process, and how changes in ecological conditions further influence human decision-making. Of the 24 sites funded under the nationwide LTER program, Phoenix and Baltimore are the only 2 established specifically to study urban ecosystems. The rationale for the study of human-dominated systems is three-pronged. First, humans dominate Earth's ecosystems; therefore, humans must be integrated into models for a complete understanding of ecological systems. Second, development of these more realistic models for ecological systems will lead to greater success in finding solutions to environmental problems. Third, although the study of ecological phenomena in urban environments is not a new area of science, the concept of city as ecosystem is relatively new for the field of ecology. Studying cities as ecosystems within new paradigms of ecosystem science will both raise the collective consciousness of ecologists about urban ecosystems and contribute to the further development of concepts that apply to all ecosystems. We will present background information on the central Arizona-Phoenix landscape, results from the first three years of CAP LTER research, and a conceptual basis for integration of social and ecological systems.

Dr. Nancy B. Grimm (Ph.D. 1985, Arizona State University) is Professor of Biology at Arizona State University and Co-Director of the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) project, a study of land use change and ecological processes in the Phoenix metropolis and surroundings. She has published more than 60 articles on diverse topics such as the biogeochemistry of nitrogen in streams and rivers, effects of natural and human-induced disturbance on stream communities and ecosystems, urban ecological systems, to interactions between linked ecosystems, such as rivers and groundwaters, watersheds and riparian zones. She has served on advisory panels and review teams for the National Science Foundation, the EPA, and the DOE, editorial boards (including Ecology, Ecological Monographs, and Ecosystems), as President of the North American Benthological Society, and as Chair of the Science Advisory Board for the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis.

Dr. Charles L. Redman is director of the ASU Center for Environmental Studies, and Virginia M. Ullman professor of Natural History and the Environment. Redman is trained as an archaeologist and has published eight books and numerous scholarly articles on his fielwork in the Near East, Mediterranean and the Southwest US. He is also founding member of the Southwest Center for Education and the Natural Environment (SCENE), an officer of the state chapter of The Nature Conservancy, and an executive board member of the Governor's Commission on Groundwater Management. Dr. Redman has served as principal investigator or co-principal investigator on 35 research grants, from federal, state and private agencies, totaling over $24 million. Three years ago he began co-directing the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological project, and he is also co-directing the recent expansion of this urban ecological research to include an innovative interdisciplinary Ph.D. program (IGERT) sponsored by the National Science Foundation. He received his B.A. from Harvard University, and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in anthropology from the University of Chicago.

Influencing the Social and Political Metabolism of Landscapes Prof. Orie L. Loucks Eminent Scholar of Ecosystem Ecology Department of Zoology, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA

Abstract  This paper assumes we know about the natural processes of landscapes, including hydrologic interactions, carbon capture, secondary production, population and metapopulation dynamics, perturbation processes and ecological succession. Beyond that, we've learned much in recent years about human-generated processes that overlay natural landscapes, including land clearing, abandonment, fragmentation and recovery, conversion to commercial uses, reservoir development, irrigation, chemical enrichment of land and water, deposition of stressors, and introduction of exotic species. A further level of understanding is taking shape now. Here we need to consider how local to regional organizations, public and private, use policies or decision-making to influence the above processes. The result is a social and political integration of processes, a kind of metabolism, that is different for each landscape. Our economic and policy surveys on landscapes in the greater Columbus area of central Ohio have sought to estimate the willingness of people to pay for good stream water quality and biodiversity in the face of impending urban sprawl from Columbus into the Big Darby Creek watershed. We found the institutional influence is net-like, as well as hierarchical, capable of influencing pattern and process in both the natural and human-dominated system. Although essentially homeorhetic, however, the dynamics of this landscape system are capable of being redirected by human institutions. A second case study will illustrate why we believe financial institutions, such as the national capital markets, also can be enlisted to change human influence on the metabolism of landscapes.

Dr. Orie Loucks holds the position of Ohio Eminent Scholar in Applied Ecosystem Studies and Professor of Zoology at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. His training includes B.Sc.F. and M.Sc. F. degrees in forestry from the University of Toronto (1953 and 1955 respectively), and a Ph.D. in botany from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1960. He began his career in 1955 as a Research Officer for the Department of Forestry in Canada and joined the Department of Botany at the University of Wisconsin in 1962, teaching advanced courses in ecology. From 1969 to 1973 he headed an interdisciplinary watershed study of the Lake Wingra basin, as part of the U.S. contribution to the International Biological Program. From 1976 to 1978 he served as Director of the Center of Biotic Systems in the Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Wisconsin, as well as Professor of Botany. He also headed a $3 million interdisciplinary study of environmental impacts from a large coal-fired generating station on the Wisconsin River in central Wisconsin. In 1978 he joined The Institute of Ecology (TIE) in Indianapolis as Science Director and headed a series of studies concerning the regional effects of air pollutants and acidic deposition on midwest ecosystems. In 1983 Dr. Loucks became Director of the Holcomb Research Institute at Butler University in Indianapolis. From 1986 to 1991 he headed a major inter-institutional study of pollutant effects on oak-hickory forests and soils of the Ohio Valley region.

Beginning in 1990 Dr. Loucks chaired a Miami faculty study group linking the business school with the science departments, seeking a common understanding of sustainable development for undergraduate teaching. This initiative has now become the Center for Sustainable Systems Studies. In the mid-1980's Dr. Loucks was a member of the National Academy of Sciences Board on Water Science and Technology, and was U.S. Co-chair of the joint NRC-NAS/Royal Society of Canada study reviewing the 1978 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. He was a member of the Science Advisory Board, International Joint Commission from 1991 to 1995. From 1995 to 1997 he chaired the U.S. Vegetation Classification Panel of the Ecological Society of America and was a member of the AAAS Annual Meeting Program Committee. Dr. Loucks' public service and conservation interests are reflected in his 1960's and 70's role on the Board of Trustees, Wisconsin Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, as a member of the national Board of Governors of The Nature Conservancy from 1984 to 1994, and as a recent member of the Ohio Chapter Board of Trustees. He also serves on the Cincinnati Museum’s Edge of Appalachia Advisory Committee and the Three Valleys Conservation Trust. He was honored in 1994 with the Distinguished Service Award of the American Institute of Biological Science, and this year is the recipient of the National Wildlife Federation’s Conservation Achievement Award in Science.

The Origins Of Phoenix Farming Dr. Katherine Crewe School of Planning and Landscape Architecture, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA

Abstract  The area around Phoenix has been settled by many different farming communities over the years, from both within the country and without. Each community has brought its own customary farm practices, but adapted these to arid desert conditions. Using historic slides, this presentation traces the development of early farming, dating back from the Hohokam Indians, and including the early white settlers, then later groups following the opening of the Roosevelt Canal, growing the area's chief crops of alfalfa, cotton and citrus, but also cultivating exotic ventures such as ostrich and date farming, or specializing in cut flowers or sugar beets.

Dr. Crewe was born in South Africa, but has lived in the US for twenty years. After taking a Masters in Landscape Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, she practiced as a landscape architect on the east coast of the US, then l997 graduated with a Ph.D. in Landscape Architecture and Planning from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She is currently an assistant Professor in the School of Planning and Landscape Architecture, Arizona State University.

Watersheds, History, Landscape Planning and Community Development: Reflections on Fifteen Years of the West Philadelphia Landscape Project Prof. Anne Whiston Spirn School of Architecture and Planning, MIT, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA

Abstract  This paper describes the West Philadelphia Landscape Project as a laboratory for developing and testing theories of urban landscape change, planning, and management since 1987. It relates how processes of development, settlement, migration and disinvestment have interacted with natural processes such as water flow to produce landscapes of poverty. It summarizes discoveries (such as the high correlation in many inner-city neighborhoods between vacant land and buried floodplains) and projects (such as the transformation of low-lying vacant land into a landscape amenity and stormwater detention facility, thereby rebuilding a neighborhood, reducing combined sewer overflows, and improving regional water quality). The paper summarizes the results of this research-in-action, sets that work within the context of broader issues in urban and environmental policy, and reflects on lessons for the theory and practice of landscape ecology and landscape planning and management.

Prof. Anne Whiston Spirn is Professor of Landscape Architecture and Planning at MIT. She received the A.B. from Harvard University and the M.L.A. from the University of Pennsylvania. Before coming to MIT, Spirn taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. Prior to teaching, Spirn worked at Wallace McHarg Roberts and Todd on diverse projects, including plans for Woodlands New Community in Houston, the Toronto Central Waterfront, and a comprehensive plan for Sanibel, Florida. Her first book, The Granite Garden: Urban Nature and Human Design, won the President‚s Award of Excellence from the American Society of Landscape Architects.  The Language of Landscape (Yale 1998), extends the ideas presented in The Granite Garden and argues that the language of landscape exists with its own grammar and metaphors. Since 1984 she has worked in inner-city neighborhoods on landscape planning and community design and development. She is director of the West Philadelphia Landscape Project, a program that integrates teaching, research, and community service, which has been featured in professional journals, newspaper articles, national radio and television broadcasts, and international conferences and symposia. WPLP was recognized as a model project by the White House Millennium Council in 1999.
