Introduction Landsat Thematic Mapper ( TM ) imagery was used to analyze patterns of landscape diversity in the seasonal tropical forests of northeastern Guatemala. TM radiance and the radiance coefficient of variation (CV) were significant in discriminating land-cover types. Cluster analysis of TM4, TM5, and TM7 radiance produced six distinct types of landcover. Green leaf biomass from TM4 and ...

A fundamental premise of landscape ecology is that finer-scaled local ecological integrity is directly influenced by larger-scaled land use patterns. Therefore, characterizing landscape patterns that are mapped from satellite imagery may provide valuable covariate information about average integrity “on the ground”. This conjecture was evaluated in Pennsylvania for 102 watersheds where land cov...

This paper reports on three recent research directions that begin to explore the subject of fully multivariate algorithmics, meaning by this the largely uncharted theoretical landscape that lies beyond parameterized complexity and algorithmics — itself a natural two-dimensional generalization of the familiar one-dimensional framework of P versus NP .

Despite the close affinity between collective memory and urban structures as the relationship between what is hidden and what is visible; rapid changes throughout the city have caused a disconnection between integrated memories and landscape cohesion. As a context for memories, the historical urban landscape proves to be valuable. The present research seeks to identify elements and signs in urb...

ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. one element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...

In the recent century,Tehran has been confronted with urban sprawl and rapid population growth that have caused urban landscape transformation, whichis different in various parts of Tehran based on specific economic, cultural and social situations. What is important in this essay is the human perception of their landscape in this process of transformation; therefore, the purpose is analyzing la...
