Land systems
Land systems are defined as areas or regions with recurring patterns of component parts, in geographical, geological, and ecological terms.
Land systems are generally seen in terms of:-
- landform
- underlying geology
- vegetation
and can also have other components that may be recurrent across regional landscapes.
They are used extensively in surveys of land use planning and land management in Australia [1] [2][3][4]
