Abstract
The conservation of natural environment is one of big themes in applied geology. It is necessary to understand geoecosystem for conservation of natural environments more deeply.
We propose applied geoecology as the field of study to clarify the relationship of ground condition and ecosystem. We have to improve concrete methods for applied geoecology.
Topography investigation, geological survey and animals and plants investigation that are conventional technology are important. In addition, geoecological section method and geoecological map presentation as a new investigation method to grasp the applied geoecological state are more important. We explain the techniques in detail and the example of conservation due to applied geoecology.
Now it is the time to approach applied geoecology following from resource geology, engineering geology, environment geology and disaster geology. The challenge to applied geoecology is an obligation of applied geology.
