Welcome to Landscape Logic Library
PLEASE NOTE: The Landscape Logic program is no longer active and there will be no further updates to this web page.
Landscape Logic was a research hub under the Commonwealth Environmental Research Facilities program, managed by the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. It was hosted by the University of Tasmania's Centre for Environment and was a partnership between six regional organisations, five research institutions and state land management agencies in Tasmania and Victoria.
The library consists of fact sheets, technical reports, case studies, journal articles, briefs for policy makers and tutorials covering Vegetation Changes in Rural Landscapes, Managing Water Quality in Agricultural Catchments and Integrating Science and Practice.
