Landscape fragmentation-based snow heterogeneity quantification

Local Knowledge Graph (15 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on Landscape fragmentation-based snow heterogeneity quantification with 15 nodes and 45 connections. Top connected: evapotranspiration, aspen, snow water equivalent, groundwater-surface water interactions, fractional snow cover area.

Description

Novel index combining landscape ecology fragmentation metrics to quantify snow patchiness. Integrates configuration metrics (patch number, spatial arrangement) with composition metrics (fractional cover areas) adapted from FRAGSTATS framework.

Typical Equipment

• SciPy distance_transform_edt function

Output Measurements

• snow heterogeneity index
