Abstract

Fieldwork has played a critical role in the development of landscape ecology, and it remains essential for addressing contemporary challenges such as understanding the landscape ecology of global change. Advances in technology have expanded the scope of fieldwork to include the deployment of drones and other sensors, and in recent years, researchers have expressed concerns that traditional fieldwork (e.g., organismal observation) may be declining. Continuing to train the next generation of researchers in field methods should be a priority for landscape ecologists. Indeed, there is great potential for combining fieldwork with modern sensor data and computational approaches to advance the field of landscape ecology.
