This paper analyzes land use change, urbanization and their impact on the change in
landscape pattern in Tabriz metropolitan area (TMA) during the time period from 1996 to …

Statistical species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the potential
changes in species distributions under climate change scenarios. We suggest that we need …

Landscape metrics or indices have been commonly used for quantifying landscape patterns.
However, most of these indices are generally focused on simple analysis and description of …

Land use change has a major impact on goods and services that our environment supplies
for society. While detailed ecological or biophysical field studies are needed to quantify the …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools for forecasting the potential impacts
of future environmental changes but debate remains over the most robust modelling …

Dynamic vegetation models provide process‐based explanations of the dynamics and the
distribution of plant ecosystems. They offer significant advantages over static, correlative …
