Abstract

Given the increasing pressures on aquatic and river ecosystems and the ecological changes caused by these pressures, as well as during traditional single-dimensional and linear management, rivers are now more likely to be faced with simplification, changing function and function, reducing biodiversity and ultimately, we will see the rapid and profound changes of the Landscape in these ecosystems. Considering the glorious and comprehensive view of ecosystems in the Landscape, the recognition of the Landscape of the region and the application of the principles of Landscape Ecology in the protection of biodiversity and sustainable development in the ecosystem of the river is felt more and more. Therefore, according to the lack of such information in Iran, the authors decided to introduce and explain the principles of landscape ecosystems in the river ecosystem.
