Is the Urban Landscape Connected? Construction and Optimization of Urban Ecological Networks Based on Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis

open access: yesSustainability, 2023
Urban green ecological space is an important measure of sustainable urban development. Among them, landscape connectivity is one of the key factors in maintaining landscape function. Ecological networks can effectively improve regional ecological quality and promote urban landscape connectivity.

Urban Green Space Pattern in Core Cities of the Greater Bay Area Based on Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis

open access: yesSustainability, 2022
Urban green spaces (UGSs) play a crucial role in supporting urban ecological systems and improving human well-being in cities. The spatial patterns of UGS are vital bases for analyzing various ecological processes. However, few studies have investigated morphological UGS patterns, especially in high-density cities. The Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater

Contributions of Forest Regeneration After Intense Fragmentation in the Amazon through Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis

Forest Science, 2022
AbstractThis study analyzes the Amazon rainforest in the Brazilian state of Rondônia from the perspective of the forest regeneration observed from 2008 to 2018. The research examines the regeneration’s contribution to the landscape’s morphological spatial pattern within the state’s geographical limits, conservation units, indigenous lands, and the ...

Forest fragmentation in Massachusetts, USA: a town-level assessment using Morphological spatial pattern analysis and affinity propagation

open access: yesGIScience and Remote Sensing, 2016
Forest fragmentation has been studied extensively with respect to biodiversity loss, disruption of ecosystem services, and edge effects although the relationship between forest fragmentation and human activities is still not well understood. We classified the pattern of forests in Massachusetts using fragmentation indicators to address these objectives:

A new framework combining hydrological connectivity metrics and morphological spatial pattern analysis for the hydrological connectivity evaluation of wetlands

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 2022
Abstract The quantitative evaluation of wetland hydrological connectivity is essential to the hydrological connectivity restoration-oriented ecological conservation and environmental management of wetlands. We proposed a framework to evaluate wetland hydrological connectivity with a combination of hydrological connectivity metrics and ...

Significant patterns in urban form

Revue Internationale de Géomatique, 2017
A set of morphological indicators is proposed to identify the characteristics of urban fabrics using spatial clustering. Local Indicators of Network-Constrained Clusters (LINCS) are preferred to classical Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) in order to better integrate the point of view of pedestrians moving in the city.

Construction and optimization of an ecological network based on morphological spatial pattern analysis and circuit theory

Landscape Ecology, 2020
Regional ecological networks play an important role in biodiversity conservation and should be constructed and optimized for continued ecosystem functioning. Taking a tropical region in Southwest China as the study area, we aimed to propose a new method for constructing ecological networks for Asian elephants affected by human disturbance by focusing ...

Spatiotemporal pattern evolution analysis of ecological networks based on morphological spatial pattern analysis: a case study of Ningbo City, China

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management
Abstract The exponential expansion of urban areas has precipitated a concomitant deterioration in the natural environment. Constructing ecological networks is vital in improving landscape connectivity, protecting biodiversity, and maintaining regional sustainable development. Ningbo, China, was set as the research area.

A township-level assessment of forest fragmentation using morphological spatial pattern analysis in Qujing, Yunnan Province, China

Journal of Mountain Science, 2021
Forest fragmentation is an integral part of global change. Understanding forest fragmentation patterns and dynamics are of great significance for maintaining ecosystem stability. There are great differences in the interference of natural and human factors on forests in different towns of mountainous cities, and the characteristics of forest ...

Analysis of Linkage between Long-Term Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis and Vegetation Carbon Storage of Forests in Hunan, China

open access: yesForests
The carbon sequestration of forest ecosystems plays a pivotal role in constraining global warming and mitigating climate change. The landscape pattern of forests is being altered due to the combined effects of climate change and human interference. Furthermore, the relationship between forest pattern changes and carbon storage distribution in a long ...
