How are landscape complexity and vegetation structure related across an agricultural frontier in the subtropical Chaco, NW Argentina?

Human-driven alteration of the Chaco strongly affects ecological patterns and associated processes at all spatial scales. To understand these modifications, sufficient methods for describing and quantifying high levels of landscape complexity caused by human activities in the region are urgently needed. Most methods involve the use of passive remote sensors, which capture complexity in only two dimensions (2D). A common 2D approach has been to...
