Landscape patterns and soundscape processes

摘要: A landscape consists of a mosaic patches and corridors within background matrix (Forman 1995; Forman Godron 1986). These elements include mix ecosystem or land use types that may be randomly distributed regularly repeated. Structural patterns the result range natural processes such as gradients in physical parameters, including sunlight, temperature, rainfall, substrate, biotic features like species interactions, dispersal, succession, disturbance regimes. Anthropogenic development, agriculture, hydrological modifications, climate change also create patterns. Boundaries between abrupt diffuse, depending on type(s) have created them feedback loops involved. Landscape pattern is primary factor determining functional flows movements there where by changing over time 1995)...
