Research into the sensitivity of fragmentation metrics
Project
Project code: 68134415
Contract period: 01.01.2008
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Basic research
Overall objective of this study is to research into the sensitivity of fragmentation metrics to the factors described above and to contribute to a more focused and more differentiated interpretation of fragmentation metrics. While this study takes forest and forest fragmentation as an example, it is a general methodological study and the results can immediately be applied to the fragmentation status of any other land use or land cover class. Beside this object, the potential of TerraSAR-X products for forest fragmentation assessments in the subtropics and tropics will be analysed. Therefore a fragmentation analysis of three study sites in Costa Rica will be carried out on the basis of optical and radar imagery.
