Visualisation of ecotones in agricultural landscapes using spatial data quality elements

Original language description

Spatial variability of ecotones has resulted in problematic modelling, analysis and visualization of these landscape forms. Their spatial variability and fuzzy character cause uncertain and problematic handling in GIScience. Uncertainty of ecotones in the landscape arises from many sources, including complexities inherent to the ecosystems and their disturbance processes. Visualisation is a strong tool for showing results that enables better presentation of data quality if compared to text description. On the other hand, unsophisticated visualisation can be insufficient due to the complexity of the issue of spatial data quality. Based on this statement, it is necessary to visualise also the information about data quality and uncertainty. This paper describes different perspectives of uncertainty and spatial data quality visualisation in the context of modelling the spatial distributions of ecotones. The study is focused on visualization techniques for visualizing ecotones including uncertainty. This approach should contribute to better understanding, assessment and potential spreading of visual information about spatial distribution of ecotones in the landscape. Visualization of spatial uncertainty is still a challenging topic for the cartographic community and many research questions remain unsolved.
