These requirements are vital to ensure that professionals possess the necessary qualifications and adhere to established standards. It's important to note that these requirements can change over time due to updates in regulations or legislation.\n\nFor most regions, landscape architects must hold a degree in landscape architecture and obtain licensure from a relevant regulatory body to practice legally. This typically involves completing an accredited educational program, gaining professional experience, and passing a licensing examination.\n\nTo ensure compliance, it is recommended that individuals or organizations interested in hiring landscape architects check the specific licensing requirements in their area. This often involves contacting local authorities or professional organizations that govern landscape architecture practices.\n\nStaying informed about licensing changes is crucial for ensuring that projects comply with regional laws and regulations as they might change often in some areas.\n\n=== LAND USE TYPES AND BEST PRACTICES ===\n\n=== Forest Management ===\n\n* Arthur Guignabert, Mathieu Jonard, Christian Messier, et al., Adaptive forest management improves stand-level resilience of temperate forests under multiple stressors, ''Science of The Total Environment, v948'', 2024, 174168, ISSN 0048-9697, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174168.\n\n=== Green Walls in urban architecture. https://energy5.com/vertical-urbanism-the-impact-of-green-walls-on-cityscapes ===\n\n==== Keyline planning ====\n\n==== Restoring and Regenerating Landscapes and Ecosystems ====\n\n* '''Regen Villages (Netherlands)'''. https://www.architectmagazine.com/technology/the-netherlands-will-soon-be-home-to-a-self-sustaining-eco-village_o\n* '''Restoration ecology''' (native flora and fauna; biodiversity; invasive species)\n* '''Saltwater farming'''\n* '''Surface Water Management'''\n** See the Architecture 2030 Design Palette for surface water management design concepts at each building scale: https://2030palette.org/\n** Green Compass (Washington, DC). https://www.greencompass.co/\n** Greenprint Partners (Chicago). https://www.greenprintpartners.com/\n* '''Vertical Ecovillages.'''
