Patch Shape Metrics

Patch Shape Metrics is a quantitative methodological framework used in landscape ecology to characterize the geometric configuration of individual patches within a heterogeneous spatial pattern, distinguished by its focus on measuring morphological attributes such as perimeter, area, elongation, and fractal dimension to describe shape complexity and spatial arrangement.
