RAMAS® Landscape integrates the landscape model LANDIS with our RAMAS®/GIS habitat-based metapopulation model. With the integration of a landscape and a metapopulation model, predictions about the viability, recovery, and growth of a species can be based on the predicted changes in the landscapes in which they live.

In RAMAS® Landscape, predictions of the landscape model LANDIS are used as input maps for the metapopulation model RAMAS®/GIS. The program combines landscape predictions, information about the habitat requirements of the species, and demographic data on its population dynamics into a metapopulation model, which has dynamic spatial structure simulating the changes in the landscape. This metapopulation model is then run to simulate future changes in the abundance of the species and its distribution in the landscape, to estimate the risk of extinction or decline, time to extinction and other measures of threat and viability.
