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.

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 Dynamics and Landscape Sustainability in Shenzhen City
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012urbanization, land use, landscape pattern, landscape sustainability, Shenzhen Abstract. Urbanization has been a universal and irresistible trend across the world. Quantifying urban landscape pattern changes can provide detailed information to understand the urbanization process and to operationalize landscape sustainability.

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 ...

Changing patterns in the landscape
2016Abstract Relentless population growth worldwide has significantly modified savanna landscapes. ‘Changing patterns in the landscape’ considers how landscape changes differ in Latin America, Africa, and Australasia. The appearance of many savannas has been greatly affected by evolving land use.

Landscape Ecology, 2005
Landscape pattern indices are common tools of landscape ecologists, affording comparisons of different study areas, or the same study area at different times. Since the advent of popular index-calculating software, more landscapes can be analyzed in short amounts of time, yet the behaviour of landscape pattern indices can vary for different contexts or

Mapping The Abstractions Of Forest Landscape Patterns
Mapping Forest Landscape Patterns, 2017The evaluation of landscape patterns is necessary to explain the relationships between ecological processes and spatial patterns. For decades, landscape metrics have been used for measuring and abstracting landscape patterns. Since the emergence of FRAGTATS in 1993 the measures and methods incorporated in this software are very widely used and they ...
