Designation
of the matrix depends on the phenomenon being investigated and is affected by
scale of analysis.
The matrix can be identified from its structure and composition in simple landscapes, but it is difficult to distinguish in complex landscapes that exhibit continuous variation.
Do this - Identifying the matrix - Why?
How clear are the distinctions between patch and matrix in New England? Is the matrix easier to identify in Kellerberrin? Describe the matrix in each location in your ejournal.
Add labels to your drawing to show the main areas of matrix.
