meaning of "landscape" in this context ?

Hi everyone~

I'm wondering what the exact meaning of "landscape of knowledge" is in this context.
I have looked the word landscape up in the dictionary to figure out the meaning but failed to do so.
Can anybody help me figure out the meaning of the phrase ? Here is the paragraph in which the phrase is used.

Any comments would be helpful for me.
Thank you~

A scientific revolution occurs, according to Kuhn, when scientists encounter anomalies that cannot be explained by the universally accepted paradigm within which scientific progress has thereto been made. The paradigm, in Kuhn's view, is not simply the current theory, but the entire worldview in which it exists, and all of the implications which come with it. This is based on features of  landscape of knowledge that scientists can identify around them.
