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

Gradient analysis of landscape pattern in the core area of the “Zhengzhou and Kaifeng Integration” at the landscape level [PDF]
The analysis of landscape pattern change is an effective way to understand urbanization. Research area is the core area of urbanization, which is between Zhengzhou city and Kaifeng city in China.

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

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]
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 ...

Plant–pollinator metanetworks in fragmented landscapes: a simulation study
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 ...

SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF FOREST FRAGMENTATION AND LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT SCENARIOS IN THE PERUÍPE RIVER BASIN, STATE OF BAHIA, BRAZIL [PDF]
This study aimed to evaluate the spatiotemporal changes in vegetation fragments and the degree of forest fragmentation in the Peruípe River Basin, state of Bahia, between 1985 and 2021.
