Detailed Description

Spatial summaries of landscape metrics calculated in 15 x 15 km grid cells. From left to right, the maps display: invaded area; the degree to which invaded patches are connected within a grid cell (mean patch contiguity); and importance of pixels in connecting adjacent invaded pixels (centrality). Modified from Buchholtz and others 2023.

Landscape and connectivity metrics as a spatial tool to support invasive annual grass management decisions

The spatial patterns and context of invasions are increasingly recognized as important for successful and efficient management actions. Beyond mapping occurrence or percent cover in pixels, spatial summary information that describes the size and arrangement of patches in the context of a larger landscape (e.g., infested regions, connected patch networks) can add a depth of information for managing
