Understanding and quantifying landscape structure–A review on relevant process characteristics, data models and landscape metrics
For quantifying and modelling of landscape patterns, the patch matrix model (PMM) and the
gradient model (GM) are fundamental concepts of landscape ecology. While the PMM model …
