Very diverse phenomena compose the landscape, configuring complex patterns at different spatial scales. The properties of these patterns allow describing the transcendent and holistic qualities of the landscape, such as landscape heterogeneity, coherence, connectedness and diversity. Often methods and techniques are borrowed from different disciplines,

Quantifying Spatial Patterns of Landscapes
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2003In this paper we discuss information theoretical landscape indices based on data from digitized maps in grid format: measures based on Shannon's entropy, e.g. the measures of diversity and contagion; and measures based on conditional entropy, e.g.

Landscape Ecology, 1988
Landscape ecology deals with the patterning of ecosystems in space. Methods are needed to quantify aspects of spatial pattern that can be correlated with ecological processes. The present paper develops three indices of pattern derived from information theory and fractal geometry.

Abstract The analysis of landscapes and other spatial patterns is a major focus of landscape ecology, being essential to the study of how landscape patterns affect ecological processes. Landscape pattern analysis has become a sine qua non for environmental monitoring, natural resource management, landscape planning, sustainable ...

Local Landscape Patterns for Fitness Landscape Analysis
2014Almost all problems targeted by evolutionary computation are black-box or heavily complex, and their fitness landscapes usually are unknown. Selection of the appropriate search algorithm and parameters is a crucial topic when the landscape of a given target problem could be unknown in advance.

Landscape pattern results from physical, biological, and cultural processes acting simultaneously over a broad geographic region. Geology, topography, soils, disturbance regimes, and land use all influence the configuration and spatial relationships of landscape elements as well as the individual distributions of species within the landscape mosaic ...

This chapter inspects ecological patterns and processes related to spatial distributions and how they vary with spatial scale. It focuses on landscape ecology, the study of the spatial distributions of individuals, populations, and communities, and the causes and consequences of those spatial patterns.

Key Elements of Landscape Pattern Measures
Environmental Management, 1999/ Describing patterns in the landscape and interpreting the effects of these patterns on flora, fauna, and other factors has been of long-standing interest. Many descriptors have been developed, and these aggregate factors into a single index. The identical numerical result for a multifactor index can be attained by using an array of very different ...

Emerging patterns in the landscape
1998Landscapes are complicated systems that show many different patterns according to the scale of resolution and the components towards which the investigation is directed.
