Today, landscape planning for biodiversity con-servation is a crucial issue in both an ecological and sociological context. Considerable attention has been given to describing changes in landscapes through time, however, few studies have attempted to under-stand economic and ecological influences on land-scape structure (Turner et al. 1996). In a changing landscape, the spatial distribution of species would be dependent on their biological characteristics and patterns of land use. It is necessary to consider both natural conditions and human impacts to fully under-stand the relationships between landscape change and its biodiversity at several spatial scales (Duelli 1997). A thorough comprehension of historical changes es-pecially, will enhance our capability to predict fu-ture landscape dynamics and devise more effective landscape management strategies (Pan et al. 1999).
