Comparison of surface and planimetric landscape metrics for mountainous land cover pattern quantification in Lancang Watershed, China [PDF]
, 2012 Landscape pattern structure can be quantified by landscape pattern indices (LPIs). One major drawback of the commonly used LPIs is that the landscape is represented by a planar map, which depicts the projection of a nonflat surface into a 2-dimensional ...

Visualizing energy landscapes with metric disconnectivity graphs [PDF]
Journal of Computational Chemistry, 2014 The visualization of multidimensional energy landscapes is important, providing insight into the kinetics and thermodynamics of a system, as well the range of structures a system can adopt. It is, however, highly nontrivial, with the number of dimensions required for a faithful reproduction of the landscape far higher than can be represented in two or ...

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.

FracL: A Tool for Characterizing the Fractality of Landscape Gradients from a New Perspective
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019 The past several years have witnessed much progress in landscape ecology and fractal analysis. In landscape ecology, the gradient model of landscape patterns (i.e., landscape gradient) has emerged as a new operating paradigm, where most landscape metrics

Scaling effects on landscape metrics in alpine meadow on the central Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Small-scale patchiness is common in alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and significantly affects ecological processes. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) provides an effective way to monitor the small-scale patchiness at different spatial ...
