Soil Landscapes, an Index to Multiple use

Journal of Forestry, 1966
Abstract In order to develop good multiple-use plans for any area, it is necessary to know the potential of the land for various uses. This paper presents how soil landscapes may serve as a starting point or as an index to multiple-use planning.

Landscape shape adjusted compactness index for urban areas

GeoJournal, 2020
Scattered urban development leads to non-compact urban form. In this paper, I demonstrate that Index of Moment of Inertia is a useful metric to measure compactness. However, elongated political boundaries and natural restrictions severely distort the metric, rendering it less useful for monitoring urban development.

Landscape division, splitting index, and effective mesh size: new measures of landscape fragmentation

Landscape Ecology, 2000
Anthropogenic fragmentation of landscapes is known as a major reason for the loss of species in industrialized countries. Landscape fragmentation caused by roads, railway lines, extension of settlement areas, etc., further enhances the dispersion of pollutants and acoustic emissions and affects local climatic conditions, water balance, scenery, and ...

LANDSCAPE-BASED SPATIALLY EXPLICIT SPECIES INDEX MODELS FOR EVERGLADES RESTORATION

Ecological Applications, 2000
As part of the effort to restore the ∼10 000-km2 Everglades drainage in southern Florida, USA, we developed spatially explicit species index (SESI) models of a number of species and species groups. In this paper we describe the methodology and results of three such models: those for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow and the Snail Kite, and the species ...

Landscape cohesion: an index for the conservation potential of landscapes for biodiversity

2003
In urbanising landscapes, planning for sustainable biodiversity occurs in a context of multifunctional land use. Important conditions for species persistence are habitat quality, the amount and configuration of habitat and the permeability of the landscape matrix. For planning purposes, these determinants should be integrated into simple indicators for
