| Preferred label | Mosaic Pattern |
| Definition | The spatial pattern “mosaic” describes the distribution of features in space in relation and together with other surrounding features, which are homogeneous within themselves but clearly distinct from each other. A land unit with a mosaic pattern contains several sub- units/components that can be identified as stand-alone sub-parts of the larger “mosaic” unit holding them together. It is applied for land surface units on a higher abstracted level. The single parts inside the mosaic may have their own spatial pattern (e.g. homogeneous or heterogeneous) to be distinguishable. Altogether, the sub-units inside the characterized “mosaic” unit form a patchwork pattern, where each patch is clearly distinct. Example: a forest area with appearing grassland clearings in between. |
