Publication year: 2011 Source: Ecological Indicators, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 263-273 Maggi, Kelly , Karin A., Tuxen , Diana, Stralberg Tidal salt marshes in the San Francisco Estuary region display heterogeneous vegetation patterns that influence wetland function and provide adequate habitat for native or endangered wildlife. In addition to analyzing the extent of vegetation, monitoring the dynamics of vegetation pattern within restoring wetlands can offer valuable information about the restoration process. Pattern metrics, derived from classified remotely sensed imagery, have been used to measure composition and configuration of patches and landscapes, but they can be unpredictable across scales, and inconsistent across time.
