a decision support system for environmental impact assessment in landscape degradation (case study: shafarod watershed in gilan province of iran)

degradation model was introduced as an instrument of environmental impact assessment (eia) in iran. several methods are introduced in rapid environmental assessment, but none of them have evaluated landscape level. thus, the main objective of this research is to introduce a new spatial method for eia by using landscape metrics. a benefit of rapid assessment by using ecological landscape metrics...
