About
"Measuring Landscapes introduces a powerful set of concepts and tools, known as landscape metrics, for making conservation and development decisions. These metrics include: patch richness, class area proportion, mean patch size, radius of gyration, contagion, edge contrast, proximity, among others. Taken together, they measure a landscape's structure, form, and change over time, and bring solid scientific data to land use decisions. Measuring Landscapes thus serves to bridge the gap between scientists who study the health of landscapes and the planners and conservationists working to create livable places and environmentally sound habitats.
