These results allow us to understand the dynamic of macrophyte assemblages along temporal and spatial scales and their association with flooding regime, considering local (physico-chemical and morphometric) and landscape (spatial) characteristics of the floodplain environments.
Measured lake features included lake physio-chemical and morphometric variables and landscape features included hydrologic, catchment and land use/cover variables.
The classifications reveal that different landscape components or morphometric classes are important at different resolutions, and that morphometric classes exhibit resolution dependency in their geographical extents.
The aim of this paper is a detailed morphometric study of the fluvial landscape response to the tectonic uplift of the rift southern shoulder in order to reconstruct the rift's Quaternary evolution, with special attention to timing, location, and intensity of uplift episodes.
Here, we perform a morphometric study of the fluvial landscape at the scale of the Biga Peninsula, coupling the recently developed R/SR analysis of the drainage network with concavity and steepness measures of a set of 29 rivers of all sizes.
In addition, morphometric similarities between different loess landscapes needs to be addressed and the historical and spatial contingency inherent in loess-landscape evolution incorporated in models for improved spatial prediction of loess parent materials.
Morphometric indices evaluated showed the correlation of landscape within the massif with NE SW and NW SE structures, as well as landforms related with recent tectonic influence.
For this purpose, Advanced Space Thermal Emission Radiometer ASTERR), a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with spatial resolution of 30 m used for extraction and analysis of 23 morphometric parameters including basic, linear, shape, and landscape.
Studies addressing the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on morphometric features of different meadow types and landscape ecological characteristics of P. oceanica habitat are also reviewed, as well as their influence on ecosystem processes.
The patterns within the accessibility surface were then described with morphometric feature characterisation, making the analogy with landscape analysis [Wood, J. (1996).
