TL;DR: This paper provided a crude initial estimate of the value of ecosystem services to the economy using data from previous published studies and a few original calculations, and estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed three indices of pattern derived from information theory and fractal geometry for 94 quadrangles covering most of the eastern United States using digitized maps.

TL;DR: This book discusses the "scale-dependent nature of organism responses" in the Landscape, and the Intellectual Roots of Landscape Ecology, as well as general Insights from the Use of NLMs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of scale is used to describe the scale of a landscape. But, the concept is not defined in terms of a set of scales, but instead of a hierarchy of scales.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multivariate factor analysis was used to identify the common axes (or dimensions) of pattern and structure which were measured by a reduced set of 26 metrics, which were interpreted as composite measures of average patch compaction, overall image texture, average patch shape, patch perimeter-area scaling, number of attribute classes, and large-patch density area scaling.
