Abstract:Context: The patch-mosaic model (PMM) is the most common way to describe the landscape in ecological research. Despite this, the gradient model (GM) was proposed as a more accurate representation of the heterogeneity of landscapes; however, little has been explored on the behavior and performance of continuous variables and surface-based metrics from GM under different analytical scenarios.Objectives: We address the question: which landscape metrics, patch-based or surface-based, best explain habitat occupancy… Show more
