Landscape Ecological Functions of Field Boundary

Abstract

Abstract: The research advances on field boundary at landscape level were reviewed and the various landscape ecological functions of field boundary in biodiversity conservation, movement corridors, recreation resource and their interaction with farming systems were examined in the paper. The success of field boundaries in fulfilling these roles depends on a combination of their quality, density and spatial arrangement in the landscape. The comprehensive researches on field boundary need to be done for developing a theoretical foundation for understanding the functions of field boundaries and landscape designing.

Key words: thinning, Chinese fir, root branch order, biomass, morphological trait.
