LANDISVIEW: A visualization tool for landscape modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major challenge in landscape and environmental modelling is to effectively visualize large amounts of time-series simulation output, often in various Geographic Information System (GIS) formats. We developed a software tool (LANDISVIEW), to easily visualize and animate time-series of ERDAS *.gis maps. The open source tool can also be used to generate batch files for FRAGSTATS, a widely used spatial analysis program. 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The aim of the INGRID landscape model is to simulate the ecological effects of management schemes for dry grasslands and to calculate costs in order to serve as decision tool for nature conservation agencies. To predict the local and regional risk of extinction of plants and animals with respect to different management scenarios/disturbance regimes, we apply modelling approaches on different sc...
متن کاملDetecting and Modelling the Trend of Change in the Forest Land Use in Garasu Watershed Area Using Landscape Metrics
Detecting, predicting and quantifying the trends of landscape pattern change in the forests of Gharasu watershed area are necessary so as to assess the crises or prevent them. To this aim, the land use maps belonging to the years 1987, 2002 and 2018 were classified through the maximum likelihood method, and the forest area changes were estimated. Then, through the Geomod model and the forest ch...
