Title
Very high resolution Earth Observation features for testing the direct and indirect effects of landscape structure on local habitat quality.
Abstract
•We use VHR-EO features as habitat quality proxies in hierarchical models.•Mixed-effects models are apt to model LPIs/VHR-EO features causal relationships.•Landscape pattern influence on habitat quality can be both direct and indirect.•Landscape pattern influence on habitat quality varies across spatial scales.•We corroborate the notion of the spatial context-dependence of habitat quality.
