Ecologist and planners are confronted with problem scenarios requiring the identification of environmental management and planning models that can solve complex issues such as those addressing the presenrvation of biodiversity, global and local change, the fragmentation of environmental systems, resource management. Such problems have stimulated the development of new theories and practices and reclection on both the historical roots and the paradigms upon which distinct disciplines are founded. The common thread running through the articles contained in this service is ecology. it comes with its dual aspect of the discipline and culture from spreading. from a historical perspective. The field study of ecology is slowly and gradually moved from the analysis of natural habitats unique to empirical science with a prevailing descriptive multidisciplinary science to learn and know, interested in investigating complex systems related to human transformations and changes the landscape scale. The history of ecology is the story of the changing ways in which nature is perceived, interpreted and managed by man over time. There are two stories, the history of relations between man and nature, the history of representation of this relationship. The article talks about the issues and delays starting from the alteration of the landscape between the time of production and consumption of those resources.
