A New Approach to Land-Use Structure: Patch Perimeter Metrics as a Spatial Analysis Tool

A New Approach to Land-Use Structure: Patch Perimeter Metrics as a Spatial Analysis Tool

This work introduces a new class of landscape metrics characterizing basic features of patch perimeters. Specific computation on patch perimeters was carried out on fine-grained land-use maps with the aim to characterize spatial patterns of neighbor patches, evidencing contact points and perimeter l...
