On using landscape metrics for landscape similarity search
Ecological Indicators, 2016 Abstract Landscape similarity search involves finding landscapes from among a large collection that are similar to a query landscape. An example of such collection is a large land cover map subdivided into a grid of smaller local landscapes, a query is a local landscape of interest, and the task is to find other local landscapes within a map which ...

Does a Time-Lagged Effect Exist Between Landscape Pattern Changes and Giant Panda Density?
LandLand use and land cover change (LULCC) can influence giant panda distributions by altering landscape structure and configuration. However, the spatial impacts and potential time lag effects of landscape pattern changes on giant pandas remain ...

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

Understanding Landscape Structure Using Landscape Metrics
, 2013 Landscape metrics are important tools which are used to understand landscape structure and landscape changes. To use metrics, numeric data is obtained related to landscape structure. Numeric data is produced from satellite images and air photos. Also, landscape metrics are used as compatible with geographical information systems.
