Effects of topography and surface roughness in analyses of landscape structure - A proposal to modify the existing set of landscape metrics

Topography and relief variability play a key role in ecosystem functioning and structuring. However, the most commonly used concept to relate pattern to process in landscape ecology, the so-called patch-corridor-matrix model, perceives the landscape as a planimetric surface.
