Abstract
In the absence of a holistic view of Landscape Sustainability, credible data and consistent information are needed to help decision making and support adaptive management. However, consolidated tools (system of standards and controls) of assessment exist, but show a complexity of the references on one hand, and are mostly qualitative and environmental indicators based on the other hand. This review article deals with the theme of both environmental and landscape indicators in general, the principles and the fundamental definitions. The main models used, the prerequisites and various fields of application are also taken into consideration. Last but not least, various environmental and landscape indicators are presented and compared.
