Measuring the abruptness of patchy ecotones: a simulation-based comparison of landscape pattern statistics
Bewersox M and Brown DG. 2001. Measuring the abruptness of patchy ecotones: a simulation-based comparison of landscape pattern statistics. Plant Ecology. 83A(3):89-103
This is a study of patch-based and boundary-based statistics used to assess their suitability as measures of abruptness on simulated ecotone landscapes. The results of the research in this study support other studies of ecotone process that rely on the interpretation of patch or boundary statistics.
