Congratulation to Ruiting Zhai for the publication of her article in Landscape Ecology, which is titled as “The transiogram as a graphic metric for characterizing the spatial patterns of landscapes“. Landscape Ecology is the flagship journal in ecological understanding of spatial heterogeneity.
Ruiting’s progress is important, similar to the significant progress made by Weixing Zhang in detecting horizontal and vertical urban expansions in megacities from medium resolution imagery, which was published in a top journal called Landscape and Urban Planning in 2018.
