Landscape Research Journal

Landscape Research is a leading, peer-reviewed academic journal.

We believe that research has a vital role to play in realising a fairer, ethical and more sustainable future, in terms of the relationships that people have with the places in which they live and the environments they share with each other and with other living things.
