Describe any spatial correlation that you can discern between physiography/topography and land-use/land coverWhat are some of the largest patches in the watershed? Smallest? What is the land use/cover for those patches?What type of patch connectivity do you observe between similar patch types in the watershed? What discontinuity or fragmentation do you observe?
