Sentence examples for mean patch shape from inspiring English sources

Mean patch shape (corrected perimeter/area) was highest for bottomland-forest, riparian, and cross-timbers habitats, reflecting the fact that these habitats typically are elongated in shape.

Mean patch shape complexity and the extent of habitat aggregation were also significant explanatory variables, but explained less than 10% of the variance in richness of woodland birds.

With two relatively large reservoirs being present in the agriculture area, mean patch shape for water also was significantly lower than that in the managed-native landscape.

Among tested indices of landscape spatial pattern, patchy density, mean patch shape, patch shape standard deviation, area weighted mean shape index (AWMSI) and Shannon's diversity index were meaningful for predicting fire spread.

Mean patch shapes of mesquite-savanna, bottomland-forest, and riparian patches were significantly lower in the agriculture area, a result primarily due to the straightening of edges of patches of these habitats when croplands were developed adjacent to them.

Using mean patch area and patch shape index, we measured the acoustic fragmentation of habitats.

We used a landscape ecology approach to calculate indicators of ecosystem diversity, cover and forest fragmentation such as number of patches, mean patch size, mean shape index and mean nearest neighbour distance.

We found that for metrics like mean patch size, landscape shape index or edge length, quite accurate subpixel estimates were achieved in all the datasets, even for relatively large downscaling factors.

Several landscape metrics were chosen to describe the landscape pattern (spatial share, mean patch size, patch size coefficient of variance, mean shape index, mean nearest neighbor distance, mean proximity index, and interspersion and juxtaposition index).

We calculated landscape metrics (habitat loss, amount of edge, patch shape complexity, and mean patch size) to identify the aspect of landscape transformation most captured by well density.

Largest patch index (LPI), mean patch size (MPS), area-weighted mean shape index (AWMSI) and edge density (ED) were calculated for the no-canopy class as an average of the sampled squares at the selected scales.
