Landscape Dynamics in Mediterranean Coastal Areas: Castelló de la Plana in the Last Hundred Years
Landscape Online, 2019 The littoral areas of the Mediterranean coastline have undergone a significant transformation due to their historical and intense human occupation. The result has been an evolution of different cultural landscape configurations, ranging from those with a

Landscape Structure, Landscape Metrics and Biodiversity [PDF]
Living Reviews in Landscape Research, 2011 This paper deals with the question of the role landscape metrics can play in the investigation, evaluation and monitoring of landscape structure, and which linkages between landscape structure and biodiversity are known. In the first part, the scientific state of the art is presented; in the second part, the meaning of landscape metrics for nature ...

Towards a Core Set of Landscape Metrics of Urban Land Use in Wuhan, China
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2022 In this study, we investigate the urban landscape patterns in Wuhan, China based on the land use data in the vector format. Using the approach of landscape metric analysis, we calculate forty-four vector-based landscape metrics and then reduce redundant ...

Metrics and Energy Landscapes in Irreversible Thermodynamics [PDF]
Entropy, 2015 We describe how several metrics are possible in thermodynamic state space but that only one, Weinhold’s, has achieved widespread use. Lengths calculated based on this metric have been used to bound dissipation in finite-time (irreversible) processes be they continuous or discrete, and described in the energy picture or the entropy picture. Examples are

Multiscale Fourier Landscape Pattern Indices For Landscape Ecology
Journal of Landscape Ecology, 2018 A factor analysis of 67 landscape pattern metrics was performed to quantify the ability of landscape pattern metrics to explain land cover pattern, and to report individual landscape pattern metric values that are statistically independent.
