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

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 ...

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.

Metric Score Landscape Challenge (MSLC23): Understanding Metrics’ Performance on a Wider Landscape of Translation Quality

open access: yesProceedings of the Eighth Conference on Machine Translation, 2023
The Metric Score Landscape Challenge (MSLC23) dataset aims to gain insight into metric scores on a broader/wider landscape of machine translation (MT) quality. It provides a collection of low- to medium-quality MT output on the WMT23 general task test set.

Landscape Metrics and Indices: An Overview of Their Use in Landscape Research [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Landscape Research, 2009
The aim of this overview paper is to analyze the use of various landscape metrics and landscape indices for the characterization of landscape structure and various processes at both landscape and ecosystem level. We analyzed the appearance of the terms landscape metrics/indexes/indices in combination with seven main categories in the field of landscape

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 ...

Advancing Texture Metrics to Model Landscape Heterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yesIGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
We advance methods to study landscape heterogeneity and assess the suitability of these methods to detect boundary regions between land cover types. We employ 2nd-order texture metrics on continuous and on discrete vegetation data in North Eurasia and on a smaller region therein.

Exploratory Landscape Metrics for Agricultural Sustainability [PDF]

open access: yesAgroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, 2013
<p>Socio-economic growth and urban change have been an increasing concern for decision makers in recent decades. The monitoring, mapping and analysis of agricultural land-use change, especially in areas where urban change has been high, is crucial.
