APPLICATION OF QUANTITATIVE METHODS IN STUDYING LANDSCAPE FEATURES IN THE LONG XUYEN QUADRANGLE

Abstract

Quantitative indicators of landscape features in the Long Xuyen Quadrangle, based on the structure, function, and landscape of the sub-region, were calculated and analyzed in this study. These indicators include the average size of landscape patches; border density of landscape; dividing ratios, patch density; landscape diversity index, and landscape abundance index. These indicators were found to have strong differentiation according to the structure, function, and sub-region of the landscape. The study results also reflect the characteristics of the current state and potential exploitation of the region, creating a basis for rational use of the resources and the territorial organization of production.
