Abstract: Landscape geography as a field of comprehensive geographical research occupies an important place in the system of geographical sciences. Because of the limitations of phenomenology, close and static studies and the backwardness of study methods and techniques, traditional landscape geographical research could not profoundly reveal and explain the essential aspects of landscape features structures, especially dynamics.The research level was relatively low. Since 60's, the theoretical and methodological ideas of modern systematic sciences and ecological sciences have been adopted by landscape geographers, computer, remote sensing and mathematical modelling techniques have been applied in landscape research. These greatly promoted the development of theories and methodology of systematical Synthesis and the improvement of investigation techniques in landscape geography.In recent periods, many landscape geographers pay more attention to landscape dynamics, the experiment investigations at stationary measuring points, in representative model areas and in laboratories were strengthened. Applied landscape research were further developed. Landscape ecology becomes a very active field of landscape research. All the trends mark a significant advance of landscape geography.
