Viticultural landscapes traditionally consist of a diverse mosaic of different elements of agricultural and semi-natural ecosystems, providing a variety of ecosystem services. In the context of VineDivers landscape ecology, a landscape buffers of 750 m in diameter were delimited around the centroid of the studied vineyard parcels. The results of landscape mapping are parameters such as percentage of semi-natural elements, mean size of vineyard parcel, and complexity index. In Romania were studied sixteen vineyards ecosystems from Târnave Viticulture Region – Transylvania. Landscape mapping offers a better understanding of spatial information and structural inventory of agroecosystems. Also, it should be possible to study the effects of landscape pattern upon species composition, and biodiversity.
