Landscape Metrics for Assessment of Landscape Destruction and Rehabilitation
Environmental Management, 2001This 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.

Evaluating the effectiveness of landscape metrics in quantifying spatial patterns
Ecological Indicators, 2010 The effectiveness of landscape metrics in quantifying spatial patterns is fundamental to metrics assessment. Setting 36 simulated landscapes as sample space and focusing on 23 widely used landscape metrics, their effectiveness in quantifying the ...

Evaluating the effectiveness of landscape configuration metrics from landscape composition metrics
Landscape and Ecological Engineering, 2016Although 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 ...

Seeking parsimony in landscape metrics
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2011AbstractNumerous 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.

Software Metrics Suites for Project Landscapes
2009 13th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering, 2009Many software metrics have been proposed over the past decades. Selecting a small custom suite of metrics is desirable for quality assessment and defect prediction in industrial practice since developers cannot easily cope with dozens of metrics. In large software architectures, structurally similar projects are subject to similar defect conditions and

The Behaviors of Landscape Metrics to Changing MMU and Suggestions for Landscape Analysis
2013Scale issue is one of the key issues in landscape ecology and related environmental science. Previous studies have addressed the effects of landscape metrics to changing spatial scale, grain size, and class resolution. However, Minimum mapping unit (MMU) as one of scale issues has not been well investigated.

APPLICATION OF LANDSCAPE METRICS IN THE PROCESS OF LANDSCAPE VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
SGEM International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference EXPO Proceedings, 2017This paper presents the possibility of using landscape metrics in the process of modeling vulnerability analysis of landscape qualities that should be protected when considering spatial decisions about its future land use. Modeling was carried out on the lower part of Krka River basin, in the Mediterranean part of Croatia. This area is under protection

Understanding Landscape Metrics II
2006An 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

[Selection of landscape metrics for urban forest based on simulated landscapes].
Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2010Based on the existing urban forest landscape of Shenyang, four landscape pattern gradients were simulated, and one existing landscape pattern gradient in accordance with the trend of these gradients was selected. By analyzing the responses of 28 landscape metrics for landscape fragmentation and patch shape complexity to various landscape pattern ...
