Landscape metrics used in quantifying the landscape pattern in Argao watershed [5].

Landscape metricsAbbreviationDescription

Shape metrics
 (a) Mean shape indexMSIPatch-level shape index averaged over all patches in the landscape
 (b) Area-weighted mean shape indexAWMSIMean patch shape index weighted by relative patch size
 (c) Mean patch fractal dimensionMPFDThe average fractal dimension of individual patches in the landscape
 (d) Area-weighted mean patch fractal dimensionAWMPFDThe patch fractal dimension weighted by relative patch area
