Landscape parameters for mixed oak forests, beech forests and pine plantations. FD = Fractal dimension; Pi 500 = proximity index in a radius of 500 m; NND = nearest neighbor distance; Min = minimum value; Max = maximum value; Mean ± SE = mean ± standard error. p-Values were derived from the Kruskall-Wallis test. Different superscript letters indicate significant differences between values (Mann-Whitney U test at p < 0.05) (means with different letters are significantly different).
