Hot Spots Analysis of Landscape Metrics and Runoff Landscape Index in Ardabil Province
Hot spots are often associated with places where an abnormal process has occurred. Accordingly, their identification can help experts and managers to scrutinize the state of health and sustainability, from an ecological point of view. The present study was therefore conducted to analyze the spatial autocorrelation and identify hot spots of 11 landscape metrics, the new Runoff Landscape Index (R...
متن کاملLandscape Metrics
Understanding the relationship between landscape pattern and ecological processes constitutes the foundation of landscape ecology. Generally, a set of landscape metrics is derived from land cover maps, and subsequently related with a measured ecological response by statistical methods to assess their prediction power. Here, I reviewed several concepts regarding these pattern-process interaction...
متن کاملLandscape pattern metrics
Landscape ecology, if not ecology in general, is largely founded on the notion that environmental patterns strongly influence ecological processes [1, 2]. The habitats in which organisms live, for example, are spatially structured at a number of scales, and these patterns interact with organism perception and behavior to drive the higher level processes of population dynamics and community stru...
متن کاملForest structure optimization using evolutionary programming and landscape ecology metrics
A new design framework is introduced for forest structure optimization based on a genetic algorithm landscape encoding and landscape ecology metrics. Landscape ecology is an important interface between the forest management community, which is a traditional user of operations research methods, and the biological conservation community which is relatively new to OR methods and whose goals are in...
متن کاملBiodiversity Conservation through Landscape Ecology
Viet Nam’s landscape is constantly changing as land use changes. Sometimes the resources base benefits where forests are protected and allowed to regenerate naturally, bare land is reforested, or where swidden land is converted to more intensive agriculture. Sometimes resources are lost where forests are exploited for timber, cleared for agricultural or grazing, or burnt by spreading wildfires.
