Contents Introduction -- Methods for quantitative characterization of landscape pattern -- Illustrations -- Classifying Pennsylvania watersheds on the basis of landscape characteristics -- Predictability of surface water pollution in Pennsylvania using watershed-based landscape measurements -- Predictability of bird communication-based ecological integrity using landscape variables -- Summary and future directions
Summary One of our challenges is the preservation and remediation of ecosystem integrity. Remotely sensed imagery plays a crucial role by its ability to monitor large spatially continuous areas. This book presents a method for assessing spatial pattern in raster land cover maps based on satellite imagery incorporating multiple pixel resolutions
