Context Pasture-woodlands are semi-natural landscapes that result from the combined influences of climate, management, and intrinsic vegetation dynamics. These landscapes are sensitive to future changes in land use and climate, but our ability to predict t ...
Both calculated quantities in the paper, fractal dimension and lacunarity respectively, prove high precision as foreteller to classify the glial cells tissue in various brain morphologies. The importance of microglia in neurodegenerative diseases and the i ...
We show that similarly to the logarithmic mean-velocity profile in wall-bounded turbulence, the landscape topography presents an intermediate region with a logarithmic mean-elevation profile. Such profiles are present in complex topographies with channel b ...
The drainage area is an important, non-local property of a landscape, which controls surface and subsurface hydrological fluxes. Its role in numerous ecohydrological and geomorphological applications has given rise to several numerical methods for its comp ...
Biodiversity patterns are governed by landscape structure and dispersal strategies of residing organisms. Landscape, however, changes, and dispersal strategies evolve with it. It is unclear how these biological and geomorphological changes interplay to aff ...
A longstanding question in ecology concerns the prediction of the fate of mountain species under climate change, where climatic and geomorphic factors but also endogenous species characteristics are jointly expected to control species distributions. A sign ...
Plant species are known to adapt locally to their environment, particularly in mountainous areas where conditions can vary drastically over short distances. The climate of such landscapes being largely influenced by topography, using fine-scale models to e ...
The fractal dimension and lacunarity measurements of neuro-images were leveraged to differentiate between benign, biphasic and lacunarity tissue samples. For various benign and malignant subtypes, using the program developed by the authors, the fractal dim ...
After their formation, mountainous landscapes gradually evolve toward smoother geometries controlled by the interplay of erosion and sedimentation. The statistical mechanical properties of this process and the link between topography and geology have remai ...
Les infrastructures de mobilité sont de plus en plus décriées lorsqu'elles se heurtent à la ville, pourtant elles participent à la définition du paysage urbain. “L'Alaskan Way Viaduct” à Seattle est considéré comme une rupture entre le cœur de la ville et ...
