Integrating structure and function: mapping the hierarchical spatial heterogeneity of urban landscapes

Ecological Processes, 2020
Background Cities are social-ecological systems characterized by remarkably high spatial and temporal heterogeneity, which are closely related to myriad urban problems. However, the tools to map and quantify this heterogeneity are lacking.

The persistence landscape and some of its properties

, 2019
Persistence landscapes map persistence diagrams into a function space, which may often be taken to be a Banach space or even a Hilbert space. In the latter case, it is a feature map and there is an associated kernel. The main advantage of this summary is

Quasispecies evolution in general mean-field landscapes [PDF]

, 2001
I consider a class of fitness landscapes, in which the fitness is a function of a finite number of phenotypic "traits", which are themselves linear functions of the genotype.

Sunken lanes - Development and functions in landscapes

Earth-Science Reviews, 2021
Abstract Sunken lanes are roads or tracks, 2 m or more wide, that are incised at least 0.5 m, but often by several meters, below the general level of the surrounding land surface. They are formed by the passage of people, animals, vehicles and erosion by water and gravity.

Calopteryx Damselfly Dispersions Arising from Multiscale Responses to Landscape Structure

Ecology and Society, 2000
Using spatially explicit simulation models, we explored the extent to which fine-scale (i.e., meters to tens of meters) movement behaviors could be used to predict broader scale patterns of distribution on heterogeneous landscapes.

Tailoring a coherent control solution landscape by linear transforms of spectral phase basis [PDF]

, 2010
Finding an optimal phase pattern in a multidimensional solution landscape becomes easier and faster if local optima are suppressed and contour lines are tailored towards closed convex patterns.

Identification Model of Traditional Village Cultural Landscape Elements and Its Application from the Perspective of Living Heritage—A Case Study of Chentian Village in Wuhan

Buildings
At present, there are limitations in the cognition of the elements of traditional village cultural landscapes, less excavation of the elements of production-type cultural landscapes, little attention to the layering of cultural landscapes in different ...

Ecological sensitivity within human realities concept for improved functional biodiversity outcomes in agricultural systems and landscapes

Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2021
Sustainable agricultural landscapes seek to improve environmental, societal and economic outcomes locally and internationally. They depend on functionally biodiverse agricultural systems, i.e., systems that include diversity in plants and/or crops and ...

Defining dual-axis landscape gradients of human influence for studying ecological processes

PLoS ONE, 2021
Ecological processes are strongly shaped by human landscape modification, and understanding the reciprocal relationship between ecosystems and modified landscapes is critical for informed conservation.

Fairy circle landscapes under the sea

, 2017
Short-scale interactions yield large-scale vegetation patterns that, in turn, shape ecosystem function across landscapes. Fairy circles, which are circular patches bare of vegetation within otherwise continuous landscapes, are characteristic features of ...
