Evaluating the effectiveness of landscape configuration metrics from landscape composition metrics

Landscape and Ecological Engineering, 2016
Although landscape configuration and landscape composition metrics are correlated theoretically and empirically, the effectiveness of configuration metrics from composition metrics has not been explicitly investigated. This study explored to what extent substantial information of configuration metrics increases from certain easily calculated and ...

Landscape Metrics for Assessment of Landscape Destruction and Rehabilitation

Environmental Management, 2001
This investigation tested the usefulness of geometry-based landscape metrics for monitoring landscapes in a heavily disturbed environment. Research was carried out in a 75 sq km study area in Saxony, eastern Germany, where the landscape has been affected by surface mining and agricultural intensification.

Landscape Metrics and Visual Topology in the Analysis of Landscape Preference [PDF]

open access: possibleEnvironment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2008
Recognition of the value of landscapes, environmentally, economically, and to quality of life—and, importantly, the embedding of these concepts in legislation such as the European Landscape Convention—has led to the need for an ‘objective’ assessment of these values and the potential impact of changes to them.

Understanding Landscape Metrics II

2006
An extensive set of landscape metrics exists to quantify spatial patterns in heterogeneous landscapes. Developers and users of these metrics typically seek to objectively describe landscapes that humans assess subjectively as, for example, “clumpy,” “dispersed,” “random,” “diverse,” “fragmented,” or “connected.” Because the quantification of pattern is

Seeking parsimony in landscape metrics

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2011
AbstractNumerous metrics describing landscape patterns have been used to explain landscape‐scale habitat selection by birds. The myriad metrics, their complexity, and inconsistent responses to them by birds have led to a lack of clear recommendations for managing land for desired species.
