A land use change model: Integrating landscape pattern indexes and Markov-CA
Ecological Modelling, 2014Abstract Landscape pattern indexes are quantitative descriptions of the spatial composition and configuration of land use, which can influence a variety of ecological phenomena. In this paper, we propose a land use change simulation model based on landscape pattern indexes, Markov chain and cellular automata.

Thematic maps classified from remotely sensed data are usually used to derive landscape pattern index (LPI). As the classification error can propagate into the LPI calculation, correctly estimating the LPI error caused by the classification error is necessary in order to obtain a reliable landscape analysis.

ABSTRACTWe explored relationships of water quality parameters with landscape pattern metrics (LPMs), land use–land cover (LULC) proportions, and the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) or NDVI‐derived metrics.

The global "high-temperature heat wave" is becoming increasingly severe, and the in-depth advancement of new urbanization construction has put the construction of small towns in full swing. Solving the desire of small-town residents for an ecological and livable environment from the perspective of thermal comfort can promote the high-quality ...

Water quality is highly dependent on landscape characteristics. This study explored the relationships between landscape patterns and water quality in the Ebinur Lake oasis in China. The water quality index (WQI) has been used to identify threats to water quality and contribute to better water resource management.

The adaptability of the McHarg planning method seems high. However, separated multiple ecological factors must be evaluated for every land-use proposal. The LPPV method needs only two factors (layers): potential natural vegetation and land form. Nevertheless, the artificial environment such as a city area cannot be evaluated using the vegetation ...
