It is generally accepted that healthy rangeland landscapes are those that function to conserve resourcesby retaining water, soil and nutrients. How well landscapes retain, not `leak', water and soils is largelydetermined by the cover and spatial arrangement of perennial (more permanent) patches of vegetation.We have developed a leakiness index based on very high resolution remote sensing that indicatesdegree of resource retention on hillslopes (Ludwig et al., 2002) and thereby provides an index oflandscape function. ...
