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.
