Respondents' perceptions in terms of other indicators of rangeland condition like plant species diversity, plant height, and plant yield (biomass) were not as agreeable as the two indicators mentioned above.
Within the different subunits, rabbit activities gave rise to patches and gradients with different plant species richness, diversity and height, and a high internal heterogeneity (dissimilarity) in floristic composition.
Because preferences for landscapes can be determined by vegetation characteristics we surveyed the preferences of 274 Australian office workers using 40 living roof images which systematically manipulated plant life-form, foliage colour, flowering, diversity and height.
Sixty percent of the variance in the tree height diversity and 51% of the variance in the DBH Diversity were explained by the SDGL and Correlation texture measures, respectively (p < 0.01).
To normalize the diversity in patients' height, skeletal muscle cross-sectional area at L3 (in centimeters squared) was divided by height in meters squared.
Leaf-off outperformed leaf-on data, particularly in describing foliage height diversity.
A total of 2683 individual trees in 51 plant species and 21 families were measured in the field and 25,665 points were recorded to estimate foliage height diversity.
Using linear regression analysis, we show that the grid-based texture measures are superior predictors of tree height diversity than the point-based metrics.
Combining selected point- and grid-based variables accounted for up to 85% of the variance of tree height diversity, 68% of the variance of DBH Diversity and 52% of the variance of CL Diversity.
Four vegetation variables differed significantly among the 2D complexity groups: the standard deviation of the Enhanced Vegetation Index, the coefficient of variation of density per transect (CV density), mean tree diameter (DBH), and foliage height diversity (FHD).
