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 ...

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.

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.

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,

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 ...

BAT ACTIVITY IN AN URBAN LANDSCAPE: PATTERNS AT THE LANDSCAPE AND MICROHABITAT SCALE
Ecological Applications, 2003Relatively little attention has been devoted to the urban ecology of bats (Chiroptera) despite their ecological importance. Although previous studies have indicated that urbanization has a negative effect on the abundance of bats and bat activity, this relationship may differ among regions.

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 ...
