Plant Type and Quantity Data Paired with Information Entropy and Landscape Complexity

A dataset by Yaling Gao, last updated in April 2026, combines calculated information entropy values with measures of landscape complexity and corresponding plant types and quantities. The dataset is structured as an Excel file sized at 5.5 KB. Scene-level plant totals are fixed at 48 plants across three defined levels of landscape complexity.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between information entropy and landscape complexity based on the described pairing.
• Analyzing plant type distributions under controlled experimental conditions based on the fixed scene-level totals.
• Testing ecological or perceptual hypotheses linking quantitative complexity measures to biological assemblages.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Experimental control is indicated by fixed scene-level totals of 48 plants.
• File is small (5.5 KB) and in a widely accessible XLS format.

Limitations

• Row count and column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure must be verified.
