ABSTRACT={Initially based on observation, ecology has gradually become a discipline attached to standards, microscopes and abstract virtual models that are far from the reality. When it comes to the study of landscapes, ecology struggles to formalize its field of knowledge in order to acquire a real operational dimension. Yet it has its full place in schools training landscape designers whose practices consist in imagining a new spatial environment, by integrating data from nature combined with those produced by societies. Ecology also participates in the renewal of landscape representation methods by proposing new approaches adapted to the landscape project. It is through discussion and reasoning that representations participate in the construction of a complex landscape thinking and knowledge that is enriched by action.}}
