Grassland management assessments.

Compilation of the five landscape pattern indices for the four landscape scenarios: random (A), intensive dairy and beef livestock production (B), extensive dairy and beef livestock production (C), and hog production (D) systems. Indices concern heterogeneity indices (diversity and connectivity) as well as grassland area indices. Favourable index values in terms of grassland management are shown in bold. The last scenarios E and G are given in the text and not listed here, as they concern rather different landscape managements.
