Abstract
Landscape ecology belongs to the macroecological spatial studies and its theory focuses on spatial heterogeneity and ecological holism. Landscape rehabilitation based on ecological planning and design can be used satisfactorily to restore degraded mining land to make it productive and reestablish a stable ecological equilibrium that is coordinated with its surroundings in order to attain ecological holism. Degraded mining land can be classified into diverse types, with different rehabilitation methods possible for each of the classifications. In addition, degraded mining lands are also associated with various types of landscape. Accordingly, landscape rehabilitation goals can only be realized by working out reasonable macrolandscape patterns and establishing suitable microecological conditions based on the landscape ecology.

Over recent decades, an increased commitment to linking research with practice has resulted in many new insights for biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes.

As the emphasis of conservation has shifted from protecting species to include entire ecological systems or 'functional landscapes', the need for closer linkages between conservation and landscape ecology has become obvious. Several emerging principles of landscape ecology can inform conservation de
