Landscape descriptors in fifteen urban green spaces of a southern temperate city

The
dataset contains landscape metrics for circular buffer areas of
increasing radius (250, 500, and 1000 m) around each of 15 sampling
sites.
landscape
metrics were calculated using Fragstats (McGarigal et al.
2012;
http://www.umass.edu/landeco/research/fragstats/fragstats.html).
Sampling sites were urban green spaces located in Córdoba city,
Argentina. Land cover characteristics were assessed for the three
circular buffer areas around each sampling site
using Google Earth and Sentinel 2 images (December 14, 2016; spatial
resolution 10 m).
The land-use
categories considered
were:
Built
surface, Open vegetation (mostly
grasses and low growth),
Closed vegetation (mostly
trees) and Water
bodies.
We calculated landscape metrics using two levels of spatial
heterogeneity hierarchy: landscape level metrics and class level
metrics. These metrics provide information about landscape and patch
class fragmentation, interspersion and aggregation (see details in
read me file).
