Spatial Pattern Metrics

Spatial Pattern Metrics is a quantitative analytical framework within spatial ecology and landscape geography that characterizes the geometric, topological, and configurational properties of spatially distributed entities by measuring attributes such as patch size, shape complexity, connectivity, and dispersion to describe, compare, and interpret the arrangement of landscape elements across heterogeneous environments.
