A new approach to the analysis of adjacencies: Potentials for landscape insights

Alessandro Ferrarini and Marcello Tomaselli

Ecological Modelling, 2010, vol. 221, issue 16, 1889-1896

Abstract: Spatial adjacencies are a key-issue in environmental studies. Adjacency effects have been amply observed for biotic (plants and animals) and abiotic components of ecosystems. Particularly well-documented are the effects from human manufactures onto the contiguous vegetation mosaics of natural and semi-natural areas.
