Urban ecological systems: linking terrestrial ecological, physical, and socioeconomic components of metropolitan areas
Steward T. A. Pickett,Mary L. Cadenasso,J. M. Grove,Charles H. Nilon,Richard V. Pouyat,Wayne C. Zipperer,Robert Costanza +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an open definition of urban systems that accounts for the exchanges of material and influence between cities and surrounding landscapes is presented, which sets the stage for comprehensive understanding of urban ecosystems.
Urban ecological systems: Scientific foundations and a decade of progress

TL;DR: The state factor approach is used to highlight the role of important aspects of climate, substrate, organisms, relief, and time in differentiating urban from non-urban areas, and for determining heterogeneity within spatially extensive metropolitan areas.

Landscape Ecology: Spatial Heterogeneity in Ecological Systems
TL;DR: Landscape ecology, which concerns spatial dynamics and the ways in which fluxes are controlled within heterogeneous matrices, has provided new ways to explore aspects of spatial heterogeneity and to discover how spatial pattern controls ecological processes.

Does spatial configuration matter? Understanding the effects of land cover pattern on land surface temperature in urban landscapes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of both the composition and configuration of land cover features on land surface temperature (LST) in Baltimore, MD, USA, using correlation analyses and multiple linear regressions.

Resilient cities: meaning, models, and metaphor for integrating the ecological, socio-economic, and planning realms
TL;DR: In this article, the metaphor of cities of resilience is proposed as a metaphor for linking ecology and urban design, and two opposing definitions of resilience from ecology are presented, and reasons why one is more appropriate for linking with design.
