Informational Analysis of Forest Landscape Spatial Heterogeneity

Journal of Sustainable Forestry, 1999
Summary Under the perspective of forest ecosystem management, landscape is interpreted as a functioning structure. From an inventory and monitoring operational point of view, such an approach implies wise use of geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques enabling a global view of the territorial mosaic.

Landscape Heterogeneity and Dynamics

2019
Abstract Heterogeneity is a defining characteristic of landscapes and therefore central to the study of landscape ecology. Landscape ecology investigates what factors give rise to heterogeneity, how that heterogeneity is maintained or altered by natural and anthropogenic disturbances, and how heterogeneity ultimately influences ...

[Review on landscape heterogeneity].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2002
On the base of precedent studies, the occurring mechanism, classification, measurement methods, and the important role of landscape heterogeneity in landscape ecology were reviewed. The inner and outer uncertain factors result in landscape heterogeneity.

Heterogeneity of Thalamic Input Landscapes

2023
Abstract Unlike cortical neurons, thalamocortical neurons are not connected to each other via a rich recurrant collateral system. As a consequence, thalamic computation is dominated by the integration of extrinsic inputs, not by the interactions among intrinsic elements.

Ecosystem Processes in Heterogeneous Landscapes

2015
Understanding the patterns, causes, and consequences of spatial heterogeneity for ecosystem function remains a research frontier in both landscape and ecosystem ecology (Lovett et al. 2005; Chapin et al. 2012). The term, ecosystem, was introduced by Tansley (1935) to describe the characteristic and persistent interactions of organisms (plants, animals,

Landscape Heterogeneity and Ecosystem Dynamics

2011
Landscape heterogeneity determines the regional consequences of processes occurring in individual ecosystems. In this chapter, we describe the major causes and consequences of landscape heterogeneity.

Biodiversity in Heterogeneous and Dynamic Landscapes

2016
Although the concept of biodiversity emerged 30 years ago, patterns and processes influencing ecological diversity have been studied for more than a century. Historically, ecological processes tended to be considered as occurring in local habitats that were spatially homogeneous and temporally at equilibrium.

The Brain’s Heterogeneous Functional Landscape

Philosophy of Science, 2015
Multifunctionality poses significant challenges for human brain mapping. Cathy Price and Karl Friston argue that brain regions perform many functions in one sense and a single function in another. Thus, neuroscientists must revise their “cognitive ontologies” to obtain systematic mappings.

Landscape heterogeneity and plant diversity in agricultural landscapes

2019
Landscape heterogeneity is now widely recognized as a key determinant of biodiversity. Defined by its composition (amount and diversity of habitats) and configuration (spatial arrangement of habitats), landscape heterogeneity is a fundamental concept in landscape ecology.
