Surface metrics: an alternative to patch metrics for the quantification of landscape structure

open access: yesLandscape 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.

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 ...

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.

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.

A New Indicator to Better Represent the Impact of Landscape Pattern Change on Basin Soil Erosion and Sediment Yield in the Upper Reach of Ganjiang, China

open access: yesLand, 2021
Landscape patterns are a result of the combined action of natural and social factors. Quantifying the relationships between landscape pattern changes, soil erosion, and sediment yield in river basins can provide regulators with a foundation for decision ...
