Landscape metrics as functional traits in plants: perspectives from a glacier foreland [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Spatial patterns of vegetation arise from an interplay of functional traits, environmental characteristics and chance. The retreat of glaciers offers exposed substrates which are colonised by plants forming distinct patchy patterns. The aim of this study

Selecting Graph Metrics with Ecological Significance for Deepening Landscape Characterization: Review and Applications

open access: yesLand, 2022
The usual approaches to describing and understanding ecological processes in a landscape use patch-mosaic models based on traditional landscape metrics. However, they do not consider that many of these processes cannot be observed without considering the

Spatiotemporal Landscape Pattern Analyses Enhanced by an Integrated Index: A Study of the Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The analysis of spatiotemporal changes of landscape patterns is of great significance for forest protection. However, the selection of landscape metrics is often subjective, and existing composite landscape metrics rarely consider the effects of spatial ...

Landscape metrics application in ecological and visual landscape assessment [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2017
The development of landscape-ecological approach application in spatial planning provides exact theoretical and empirical evidence for monitoring ecological consequences of natural and/or anthropogenic factors, particularly changes in spatial ...

Spatial correlations between landscape patterns and net primary productivity: A case study of the Shule River Basin, China

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Human activities and environmental degradation have resulted in landscape pattern changes and can eventually profoundly affect net primary productivity (NPP) at different scales worldwide.

Plant–pollinator metanetworks in fragmented landscapes: a simulation study

open access: yesEcological Processes, 2023
Background The topology of the plant–pollinator network can be explained by the species’ abundance and their random interactions. Plant–pollinator networks can be studied in the context of a landscape, because each patch can accommodate a certain local ...

The third and fourth dimensions of landscape: Towards conceptual models of topographically complex landscapes

open access: yesLandscape Online, 2010
Relating spatial patterns to ecological processes is one of the central goals of landscape ecology. The patch-corridor-matrix model and landscape metrics have been the predominant approach to describe the spatial arrangement of discrete elements ...
