Conservation of water and nutrients within landscapes is critical for successful plant growth. Fully functioning landscapes successfully hold these resources while degraded areas lose nutrients and water and are described as being "leaky" or dysfunctional. In this paper, we examine if various measures of perennial vegetation patches derived from classified aerial videography have value for indicating landscape leakiness, hence, landscape function.
