Sentence examples for mean patch isolation from inspiring English sources
Habitat amount was measured as the proportions of suitable forest habitats and open unsuitable areas, mean patch isolation and nesting patch size whereas habitat configuration was measured as mean patch density, size and shape and edge density.
We tested the effects of climatic variables (temperature, precipitation), landscape attributes (number of patches, mean inter-patch isolation distance, matrix modification index) and patch size on the population density using linear models and the Akaike information criterion.
Removing habitat can also increase patch isolation in a spatially explicit context; removing a community from the metacommunity means also reducing dispersal between the adjacent communities [4].
After controlling for imperfect detection, the mean probabilities of occupancy in autumn (0.31) and winter (0.29) were positively related to patch size and presence of water, and negatively so, albeit weakly, to patch isolation.
Roads increased number of patches and patch density, and decreased mean patch size and largest patch index.
We applied landscape pattern metrics based on landscape composition, the shape and size of patches and patch isolation.
Using mean patch area and patch shape index, we measured the acoustic fragmentation of habitats.
We quantified patch density, mean patch size, and area-weighted mean patch size of enrolled forests in three ecologically distinct regions.
Increases in patch isolation due to habitat loss were most pronounced between 1948 and 1977, while between 1977 and 2008 patch sizes decreased and edge effects increased.
In general, patch size and patch isolation had no effect on species richness after controlling for the effect of habitat amount.
