A landscape index of ecological integrity to inform landscape conservation
Landscape Ecology, 2018 Conservation planning is increasingly using “coarse filters” based on the idea of conserving “nature’s stage”. One such approach is based on ecosystems and the concept of ecological integrity, although myriad ways exist to measure ecological integrity.

Multiple ecosystem services landscape index: A tool for multifunctional landscapes conservation
Journal of Environmental Management, 2015 The contribution of ecosystems to human well-being has been widely recognised. Taking into account existing trade-offs between ecosystem services (ES) at the farm scale and the dependence of multiple ES on processes that take place at the landscape scale, long-term preservation of multifunctional landscapes must be a priority.

Landscape Change Index as a Tool for Spatial Analysis
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2017 This study analysed spatial and temporal changes in protected landscape of Śleza Landscape Park in Poland, covering an area of 7724 ha. The main objective was to determine level of landscape change of the research area after Polish accession to European Union by comparing land-cover maps from 2004, 2009 and 2014.

Triglyceride-glucose index as a marker in cardiovascular diseases: landscape and limitations
Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2022 The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been identified as a reliable alternative biomarker of insulin resistance (IR). Recently, a considerable number of studies have provided robust statistical evidence suggesting that the TyG index is associated with

Literature Review on Farmland Landscape Pattern Change Analysis [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 Farmland landscape pattern refers to the composition and spatial distribution of landscape elements in a certain spatial range. Farmland landscape pattern formation has natural, historical, cultural and other factors.
