The article introduces a new method to analyze landscape patterns in watershed areas. By looking at different scales, the method helps understand how land cover is fragmented. The researchers used conditional entropy to create profiles that show how patterns change from larger to smaller areas. This approach can provide valuable information for managing ecosystem health in watershed areas.
