We were present in Piešťany in 1982 when the IALE was founded. Polish representatives also participated in many other scientific events, mainly related to IALE activities, including, first of all, IALE Congresses. Snacken) and modeling of landscape processes (compiled by J.I.S. The group's work resulted in several publications, including a special volume of the magazine "GeoJournal" and texts on terminology (elaborated by F. The meetings were held successively in Smolenice, Slovakia (1981), Joensuu, Finland (1983), Nice, France (1984), Dessau, former GDR (1985), Banyoles near Barcelona, Spain (1986). We also participated in competitive meetings organized by Emil Mazur from the Institute of Geography of the Slovak Academy of Sciences within the Working Group of the International Geographical Union “Landscape Synthesis”. Ružička and made use of numerous thematic publications appearing in Slovakia, especially in the highly ranked journal “Ekologia”. We took part in the above-mentioned seminars of M. While we had been looking for geographic models for landscape research from our eastern and western neighbors, landscape ecology came to us from the south. This was the background for the development of landscape ecology in Poland. In 1982, the International Association of Landscape Ecology (IALE) was founded in the health resort town of Piešťany in Slovakia. These activities contributed to the establishment of an international organization for those interested in landscape ecology. They were organized by the Institute of Experimental Biology and Ecology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (since 1990 the Institute of Landscape Ecology). In Slovakia, on the initiative of Milan Ružička, a series of seminars on problems of landscape-ecological research was initiated in 1967 (the 18 th seminar belonging to this series was held in 2018). In 1976 Leser's textbook entitled “Landschaftsőkologie ” was published. In 1972, the Society for Landscape Ecology was founded in the Netherlands, which in 1981 organized the international conference “Perspectives on Landscape Ecology” in Veldhoven. The development of the broadly understood landscape ecology in line with the original definition of Troll was brought only in the 70s of the last century. As a result, landscape ecology was often treated as a biological science (ecology practiced at the landscape level) without considering its integrative role in the study of the landscape as a whole, especially its dynamics. He stated that the discussed science this science deals with the complex of interrelationships between biocenoses and their environmental conditions in specific sections of the landscape. Troll himself also contributed to this situation because after some time he modified the original definition of landscape ecology by referring to Tansley's ecosystem concept that was fashionable at the time. This was partly because for many researchers at the time, the development of science was equated with deepening specialization. However, the term landscape ecology did not initially become widespread. He also believed that the development of landscape ecology was stimulated by the use of aerial photography. Troll emphasized the importance of landscape research for practical purposes, especially for various forms of spatial planning. This was a modern definition well captured the essence of the new science or research direction. It should be recalled that its definition was formulated in the late 1930s by the German geographer and botanist, as well as the well-known traveler Carl Troll, who believed that the basic task of this discipline was the functional analysis of landscape content and the explanation of its multidirectional and changing relationships. Email ecology appeared in Poland relatively early and developed under the influence of the events taking place in other European countries.
