It is always fun and worthwhile to search and understand patterns in nature from which humans are preferably removed.  However, in the Age of Man (or Anthropocene) the biosphere is â?#339;domesticatedâ?, and linking biodiversity, ecosystem function, ecosystem services, and human wellbeing is necessary both in science and practice.   Landscapes represent a pivotal scale domain for such efforts as they provide a common stage for ecological plays and human actions, and couple regional/global scales above and ecosystem/local scales below.  Landscape sustainability is the capacity of a landscape to consistently provide long-term, landscape-specific ecosystem services essential for maintaining and improving human well-being.
