Understanding and quantifying landscape structure – A review on relevant process characteristics, data models and landscape metrics
Angela Lausch,Thomas Blaschke,Dagmar Haase,Felix Herzog,Ralf Uwe Syrbe,Lutz Tischendorf,Ulrich Walz +6 more
TL;DR: The PMM and GM are compared regarding their prospects and limitations and suggestions are made regarding the potential use and implementation of both approaches for process–pattern analysis.

Assessment of landscape aesthetics—Validation of a landscape metrics-based assessment by visual estimation of the scenic beauty
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an objective, landscape metrics-based assessment approach, which is based on naturalness and landscape diversity as assessment criteria and selected Shannon's diversity index (SHDI), Shape Index (SHAPE) and Patch Density (PD) as indicators.

Permaculture for agroecology: design, movement, practice, and worldview. A review
TL;DR: Permaculture is mobilizing diverse forms of social support for sustainability, in geographically diverse locations, and scholarship in permaculture has always been a diverse marginal sector, but is growing.
Why Landscapes of the Past are Important for the Future
TL;DR: In this article, three periods of landscape dynamics are considered: the traditional landscapes before the important changes that started in the 18th century, the landscapes of the revolutions age of the 19th to 20th century and the post-modern new landscapes.

TL;DR: A study of the natural environment, people, and the relationship between them is presented in this paper, where the authors offer a research-based analysis of the vital psychological role that nature plays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape Ecology: The Effect of Pattern on Process
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the characterization of landscape patterns and their effects on ecological processes and demonstrate that a long history of ecological studies provides a basis for the study of spatial patterns and landscape-level processes.

The spatiotemporal form of urban growth: measurement, analysis and modeling
TL;DR: The combined approach using remote sensing, spatial metrics and urban modeling is powerful, and may prove a productive new direction for the improved understanding, representation and modeling of the spatiotemporal forms due to the process of urbanization.
