Landscape connection and patch complexity explain plant community similarity in sandy grasslands better than habitat amount and landscape heterogeneity via network analysis
Based on the island biogeography theory and the habitat amount hypothesis, species richness and alpha diversity increase with an increase in...

Effects of Landscape Heterogeneity at Multiple Spatial Scales on Paddy field-breeding Frogs in a Large Alluvial Plain in Japan
Enhancing the environmental heterogeneity of habitats is essential to decelerate the degradation of biodiversity in rice paddy ecosystems caused by...

Forest cover and non-forest landscape heterogeneity modulate pollination of tropical understory plants
ContextIn human-altered landscapes, native vegetation cover is essential for pollination maintenance. Heterogeneous land-uses may provide...

Histone FRET reports the spatial heterogeneity in nanoscale chromatin architecture that is imparted by the epigenetic landscape at the level of single foci in an intact cell nucleus
Genome sequencing has identified hundreds of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) that define an open or compact chromatin nanostructure...

Landscape perspectives for agroecological weed management. A review
Faced with the biodiversity extinction crisis and climate change, alternative approaches to food production are urgently needed. Decades of...

Spatial Heterogeneity in Agroecosystems
As explained in the previous chapter when describing landscapes, spatial heterogeneity refers to patterns that consist of dissimilar or diverse...

Landscape controls on fuel moisture variability in fire-prone heathland and peatland landscapes
BackgroundCross-landscape fuel moisture content is highly variable but not considered in existing fire danger assessments. Capturing fuel moisture...
