Abstract
⺠Designed landscapes include all landscapes intentionally made by people - not only places that appear to be designed. ⺠Ecological design is defined as: intentional landscape change to achieve and protect ecosystem services. ⺠This requires a foundation in science. Science is more relevant when it is conceived to speak to ecological design. ⺠Landscapes integrate environmental processes, and landscapes are visible. This empowers design-science synthesis. ⺠Consequently, landscape is a medium for science-society synthesis and a method for environmental invention.
