Abstract: (3657 Views)
The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using indicators of ecological landscape in the separation of land and plant communities in the case study in the middle Taleghan. To this end, there is need to the morphology of the land and vegetation maps. In this study, six metrics at class level and one metric at landscape-level for the study area were measured. These metrics using Patch analyst extension in ArcGIS was calculated. Then, using principal component analysis important metrics for separation plant communities were determined. The results of this research to separate classes of units map the morphology of the land has shown that all measures have the same effect on the separation of land classes, results for class separation plant communities showed mean patch fractal dimension and mean shape index are the most important metrics.
