Exploring Non-Linear Relationships between Landscape and Aquatic Ecological Condition in Southern Wisconsin
2014
International Journal of Applied Geospatial Research
Recent studies have implied the importance of incorporating configuration metrics into landscape-aquatic ecological integrity research; however few have addressed the needs of spatial data while exploring ...
This study investigates spatial dependence of a measure of aquatic ecological condition at two basin scales, and the spatial and non-linear role of landscape in explaining that measure across 92 watersheds ...

MANAGING LANDSCAPES FOR CONSERVATION UNDER UNCERTAINTY
2005
Ecology
In ecology, populations may be linked conceptually with landscapes through habitat and spatial population models. ...
Landscape pattern analysis was the first attempt to deal with multiple species, and it led to a range of landscape management strategies. ...
Landscape ecology focuses on the link between the spatial pattern of a landscape and the dynamics of the species it supports. There are many ways to explore and characterize this link. ...

Energy-scales convergence for optimal and robust quantum transport in photosynthetic complexes
2014
Journal of Chemical Physics
Notably, the degree of robustness of these systems for transporting energy is not known considering their realistic interactions with vibrational and radiative environments within the surrounding solvent ...
We observe that the dynamics of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex leads to optimal and robust energy transport due to a convergence of energy scales among all important internal and external parameters ...
The difficulty is that for studying the optimality or robustness of these complexes one has to fully explore both topology and geometry of energy transfer efficiency landscape outside of the known values ...

Robustness of metacommunities with omnivory to habitat destruction: disentangling patch fragmentation from patch loss
2017
Ecology
Numerous studies have explored the effect of patch loss on food web dynamics, but ignored the critical role of patch fragmentation. ...
The resulting trophic structure varies depending on the degree of habitat loss and fragmentation, due to a tradeoff between bottom-up control on omnivores (dominated by patch loss) and dispersal limitation ...

Effects of changing scale on landscape pattern analysis: scaling relations
2004
Landscape Ecology
The major objective of this study was to explore if there are any scaling relations for landscape pattern when it is measured over a range of scales ͑grain size and extent͒. ...
Considering that the landscapes under study were quite diverse in terms of both composition and configuration, these results seem robust. ...

QUANTIFYING EFFECTS OF CHANGING SPATIAL SCALE ON SPATIAL ENTROPY INDEX: USE OF FRACTAL DIMENSION
2019
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
The result indicates that Spatial Entropy index shows a robust fractal feature, and it decreases as the spatial scale (or grain size) becomes lager in a moderate degree. ...
However, the effects of changing spatial scale on Hs has not been quantified. This paper applies the fractal method to measure the spatial scale (grain size) sensitivity of Hs. ...
A COD value close to 1 means a robust fractal feature of the metrics, this is to say, this landscape metric exhibits a power law that is highly consist and robust over a range of scales (Wu, 2004) . ...
