Conteúdo: 	A terrestrial landscape is a mosaic of heterogeneous land forms, vegetation types, and land uses. The study of landscape-its spatial patterns ans how they develop-is presently emerging as a new discipline in the field of ecology (Forman 1981, 1983, Form and Godron 1981, 1986, Naveh and Lieberman 1984, Noss 1983, Risser et al. 1984). Landscape ecology is motivated by a need to understand the development and dynamics of pattern is ecological phenomena (Clark et al. 1978, Levin 1976a, b, 1978,  Whittaker and Levin 1977, Wiens 1976), The role of disturbance is ecosystems (Mooney and Godron 1983, Pickett and White 1985, Sousa 1984, White 1979), and characteristic spatial and temporal scales of ecological events (Allen and Starr 1982, O'Neil et al. 1986). Pattern, generated by processes at various scales, is the hallmark of a landscape. In this paper we outline an approach to landscape paadigm of pattern and behavior.
