The phrase "a function of the landscape" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe how certain elements or features are influenced by or relate to the characteristics of a particular landscape.
Example: "The distribution of plant species is often a function of the landscape, as different terrains provide varying conditions for growth."
Alternatives: "an aspect of the landscape" or "a characteristic of the landscape".
These effects are typically parameterized using estimates of Manning's n, surface canopy coverage and effective aerodynamic roughness length which vary spatially across the modeling domain as a function of the physical landscape.
The scale transformation shows that the geomorphological presentation of the landscape is a function of both the landscape hierarchy and the geomorphological context within an area.
"It's a function of the California political landscape [to be] different from everywhere else," says Steve Smith about the CRA.
Census designs using non-contiguous plots are useful for sampling large regions, but their interpretation is not straightforward because species number is a function of the spatial extent of the landscape and the size of the sample units.
The amount of water required by residential landscaping is a function of the areal extent of residential landscaping (i.e. tree/shrub or turf grass), the water-loss rate for different landscaping types, the efficiency with which the landscape is irrigated, and local climatic factors (i.e. reference evapotranspiration and precipitation) (Lowry et al. 2011).
We investigated this issue using resource selection functions (RSFs), i.e. models that aim to predict the occurrence of foraging honeybees at floral patches as a function of the presence of keystone landscape elements in their proximity.
Many other model applications demonstrate that fluvial archives, specifically of large fluvial systems, can be convincingly simulated as a function of the interplay of (palaeo) landscape properties and extrinsic climate, base level and crustal controls.
To estimate the amount of water required by residential landscaping, we consider water demand to be a function of the areal extent of residential landscaping (i.e. tree/shrub or turf grass), the water-loss rate for different landscaping types, the efficiency with which the landscape is irrigated, and local climatic factors (i.e. reference evapotranspiration and precipitation).
(A ) Free-energy landscape as a function of the angle θ. (B ) Potential energy landscape, E pot, of lysozyme in the free state; E pot represents the contribution of the force field used in the simulations, that is, the total force field without the RDC restraint term (see 'Materials and methods').
