• Understanding the metric and dynamic behavior of the Atlantic Forest landscapes is of fundamental importance for planning and decision-making, especially with regard to the recovery of degraded areas and the creation of public policies for the protection/conservation of biodiversity. In this perspective, landscape ecology is an extremely important tool. From this perspective, the present research aimed to conduct a literature review of the ecology of the landscape linked to studies in the Atlantic Forest. With regard to the methodology, this research should be classified as bibliographic, literature review type, as to the means and exploratory and descriptive regarding the purposes. The results bring definition, origin/evolution, calculations (Area, Edge, Core and proximity) and applications. It is concluded that landscape ecology should be understood as a new and promising area, the use of landscape metrics brings to the ouse approach of maps and satellite images, allowing a larger scale of study, whether cartographic, spatial and/or temporal, enabling a visualization of the landscape in different perspectives and from the analysis of its phytogeographic structure.
