... However, landscape ecology has not always been able to keep pace with the development of research objectives, and the movement from definition to evaluation and prediction seems to be rather slow. The following proposed approach should contribute to a better evaluation of landscape stability since ecological research should concentrate on system relations, linkages, and interactions.

However, such knowledge cannot be easily synthesized to evaluate all-system relationships, linkages, and interactions within the AELS.

... In evaluating AELS structure and dynamics, research concentrates on the description of selected process regularities and on the determination or even quantification of stability functions in particular GES types.

... Between particular geoecological sites there are transitional zones or ecotones which should be studied thoroughly. If the effects of a particular geoecological site are negative, it is possible to compensate through a more suitable transitional GES type (Skopek et al.
