Surface metrics: an alternative to patch metrics for the quantification of landscape structure
Landscape Ecology, 2009 Modern landscape ecology is based on the patch mosaic paradigm, in which landscapes are conceptualized and analyzed as mosaics of discrete patches. While this model has been widely success- ful, there are many situations where it is more meaningful to model landscape structure based on continuous rather than discrete spatial heterogeneity.

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

Land, 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

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

Geometric approaches to computing 3D-landscape metrics
Landscape Online, 2010 The relationships between patterns and processes lie at the core of modern landscape ecology. These dependences can be quantified by using indices related to the patch-corridor-matrix model.

Applying ecological landscape concepts and metrics in urban landscape management
Paisagem e Ambiente, 2016 The concepts of Landscape Ecology applied to urban planning may favor the hierarchical classification of vegetation fragments, identifying the most important ones according to the city zones’ land use.

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

Landscape metrics as indicators of avian community structures – A state of the art review
Ecological Indicators, 2022 In this state-of-the-art review, we investigate the use of landscape metrics in landscape ecology studies to predict structure of avian communities. We reviewed papers published in international peer-reviewed journals indexed by Web of Science Core, from
