The origin, development and contribution of landscape ecology in Slovakia must be understood in the temporal-spatial as well as the natural and socio-scientific context of Central Europe at the intersection of Eastern European, Central European and Western European landscape ecology. Slovak landscape ecology represents a broader, holistically understood landscape ecology based on the original biology of the landscape and its structural principle, which influenced the empirical-methodological, theoretical-meta-scientific, application and didactic character of landscape-ecological research itself. The main contribution of landscape ecology in Slovakia lies mainly in elaboration of theoretical-methodological questions of landscape structure, in elaboration of landscape-ecological optimal planning method „LANDEP“ and its application, as well as in laying the foundations of landscape biology, learning about land use and metalandscape ecology as new bio-ecological disciplines.
