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.

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.

Patterns of the peasant landscape
Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 1995In a slightly different form this paper was given as the Europa Lecture for 1994The subject of this contribution is the origin of the diversity in the 19th century peasant landscape in the northern Netherlands. The first goal of the paper is to introduce a British audience to a line of research, which so far has been mainly reported on in Dutch and ...

When we view a landscape, we look at its composition and spatial configuration—that is, what elements are present and in what relative amount, and how these elements are arranged. In an agricultural landscape, we may observe forests occurring along streams and on steep ridges, whereas croplands and pastures occupy upland areas of gentler slope.

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.

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.

Organisms and Landscape Pattern
2015Organisms live in heterogeneous environments; they grow, reproduce, disperse, and die in landscapes that are spatially variable and temporally dynamic. Understanding the interactions of organisms with their environment is, of course, a major focus of ecology; understanding the interactions of organisms with the spatial heterogeneity in their ...

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 ...

The term “landscape” was introduced into Russian scientific literature in 1913. Since that time a lot of competing conceptions about landscape structure have been developed. Although traditional genesis-based approach with strong focus on abiotic factors is most widely applied, today landscape is treated as a multifaceted and multifunctional phenomenon,
