Detailed explanation-1: -An environmental gradient, or climate gradient, is a change in abiotic (non-living) factors through space (or time). Environmental gradients can be related to factors such as altitude, depth, temperature, soil humidity and precipitation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Landscape models are used for many purposes. One class of usage is theoretically oriented. The objective here is to test theories, to organize knowledge and data, and to develop new insights and obtain new knowledge of landscapes and how they come to be.
Detailed explanation-3: -Landscape ecology deals with spatial distribution, patterns, and behaviors across large geographical areas. Landscape ecologists might study the impact of development on a particular species of native grass in a specific area.
