Landscape limnology, the Glossary
Landscape limnology is the spatially explicit study of lakes, streams, and wetlands as they interact with freshwater, terrestrial, and human landscapes to determine the effects of pattern on ecosystem processes across temporal and spatial scales.[1]

Aquatic ecosystem
An aquatic ecosystem is an ecosystem found in and around a body of water, in contrast to land-based terrestrial ecosystems. Landscape limnology and aquatic ecosystem are aquatic ecology.
See Landscape limnology and Aquatic ecosystem
Deposition (geology)
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.
See Landscape limnology and Deposition (geology)
Ecology
Ecology is the natural science of the relationships among living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment.
See Landscape limnology and Ecology
Ecoregion
An ecoregion (ecological region) is an ecologically and geographically defined area that is smaller than a bioregion, which in turn is smaller than a biogeographic realm. Landscape limnology and ecoregion are biogeography.
See Landscape limnology and Ecoregion
Ecosystem
An ecosystem (or ecological system) is a system that environments and their organisms form through their interaction.
See Landscape limnology and Ecosystem
Lake
A lake is an often naturally occurring, relatively large and fixed body of water on or near the Earth's surface.
See Landscape limnology and Lake
Landscape
A landscape is the visible features of an area of land, its landforms, and how they integrate with natural or human-made features, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.
See Landscape limnology and Landscape
Landscape ecology
Landscape ecology is the science of studying and improving relationships between ecological processes in the environment and particular ecosystems. Landscape limnology and Landscape ecology are biogeography and landscape.
See Landscape limnology and Landscape ecology
Limnology
Limnology is the study of inland aquatic ecosystems. Landscape limnology and Limnology are aquatic ecology.
See Landscape limnology and Limnology
Riparian zone
A riparian zone or riparian area is the interface between land and a river or stream. Landscape limnology and riparian zone are water and the environment.
See Landscape limnology and Riparian zone
Stream
A stream is a continuous body of surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel.
See Landscape limnology and Stream
Wetland
A wetland is a distinct semi-aquatic ecosystem whose groundcovers are flooded or saturated in water, either permanently, for years or decades, or only seasonally for a shorter periods. Landscape limnology and wetland are aquatic ecology and Environmental terminology.
