Remarks about landsenses ecology and ecosystem services

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a concept of sustainable development from the perspective of ecosystem services and analyzes some existing problems in ecosystem service assessment. It also proposes the concepts of landsense, landsense creation (LC) and general landsenses ecology in order to expand the research and application of landsenses ecology, and discusses the relationships among landsense creation, ecosystem services and sustainable development. In view of these definitions, this paper puts forward three approaches for landsense creation, i.e. using an existing carrier, transforming an existing carrier or building a new carrier by integrating visions into the carrier to make it a landsense. This paper outlines eight main principles of landsense creation, including the bidirection principle of vision manifestation, the vein-compliance principle of orientation and bearing, the multiscale principle of spatiotemporal combination, the systematicness principle of physical senses, the integrity principle of psychological perceptions, the interactivity principle of physical senses and psychological perceptions, the dissimilarity principle of different cultures and the progressivity principle of process. Finally, this paper illustrates a general framework for the study of landsenseology.
