Gradients of human modification

Forman and Godron (1986) list five gradients of human modification of the landscape:

  • Natural landscapes - where there is no significant human impact

  • Managed landscapes - where native species are managed

  • Cultivated landscapes - which are predominantly cultivated

  • Suburban landscapes - which are a mixture of residential, commercial, cropland, managed vegetation and natural areas

  • Urban landscapes - which are densely built up.
