These approaches are implemented most efficiently within an integrated GIS where raster and ancillary data can be analysed with reference to vector land polygons.
Parcel geocoding relies upon 1 1 address matching to individual land polygons or their centroids which contain a singular address number that can be matched.
By transforming the original land use polygon data into raster data at eleven aggregate scales, the fractal dimensions of 57 landscape metrics as defined in FRAGSTATS were assessed.
For calculating landscape metrics, the integration of these features and LULC (land use/cover) polygons is needed.
We calculated the shape-, edge- and size-related landscape indices for all FMUs on a landscape level (including all CLC patches) and a class level (the land cover polygons were classified according to their land cover characteristics and their level of hemeroby).
We determined proximity to pesticide applications using California Department of Pesticide Regulation records refined using Department of Water Resources land use polygons.
When a block included more than one land area topological face polygon, these polygons were area-weighted to the block level.
Class 3: phyllite, schist, amphibolite, and some volcanic rocks Polygon ALGIS 6. Land use/land cover Land-use type (unit less) Land uses are extracted from land-use maps provided by the Ministry of Infrastructure.
If contextual information on the spatial pattern and structure of the landscape could be included in the analysis (e.g. forest inventory polygons, agricultural land parcels), then the accuracy of the allocations or estimations (e.g. of LAI) could be increased.
Three New Zealand-wide spatial data sets (with land areas represented as polygons) were obtained and integrated (Table 1).
But from the landed Phoenix, smaller polygons are evident as well, perhaps 2 to 3 meters in size.
