Landscape monitoring is a developing field of expertise (and it is important that the wider range of work continues); Our work owes a great deal to the community of landscape academics and practitioners who have helped to develop the legacy of concepts, approaches and methods that underpins current thinking on the physical and cultural aspects of landscape change – including: Carys Swanwick, Lyndis Cole, Julie Martin, Roy Haines-Young, Maggie Roe, Paul Selman, Gary Charlton, Andrew Baker, Liz Bingham, Sarah Manning, Val Kirby, Robert Deane, Jonathan Porter, Hugh Inwood and Alison Fleming.
