calculate_lsm

Description

Calculate a selected group of metrics

Usage

calculate_lsm(
  landscape,
  level = NULL,
  metric = NULL,
  name = NULL,
  type = NULL,
  what = NULL,
  directions = 8,
  count_boundary = FALSE,
  consider_boundary = FALSE,
  edge_depth = 1,
  cell_center = FALSE,
  classes_max = NULL,
  neighbourhood = 4,
  ordered = TRUE,
  base = "log2",
  full_name = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE,
  progress = FALSE
)

Arguments

landscape	A categorical raster object: SpatRaster; Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick; stars or a list of SpatRasters.
level	Level of metrics. Either 'patch', 'class' or 'landscape' (or vector with combination).
metric	Abbreviation of metrics (e.g. 'area').
name	Full name of metrics (e.g. 'core area').
type	Type according to FRAGSTATS grouping (e.g. 'aggregation metrics').
what	Selected level of metrics: either "patch", "class" or "landscape". It is also possible to specify functions as a vector of strings, e.g. what = c("lsm_c_ca", "lsm_l_ta").
directions	The number of directions in which patches should be connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case).
count_boundary	Include landscape boundary in edge length.
consider_boundary	Logical if cells that only neighbour the landscape boundary should be considered as core.
edge_depth	Distance (in cells) a cell has to be away from the patch edge to be considered as core cell.
cell_center	If true, the coordinates of the centroid are forced to be a cell center within the patch.
classes_max	Potential maximum number of present classes.
neighbourhood	The number of directions in which cell adjacencies are considered as neighbours: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case). The default is 4.
ordered	The type of pairs considered. Either ordered (TRUE) or unordered (FALSE). The default is TRUE.
base	The unit in which entropy is measured. The default is "log2", which compute entropy in "bits". "log" and "log10" can be also used.
full_name	Should the full names of all functions be included in the tibble.
verbose	Print warning messages.
progress	Print progress report.

Details

Wrapper to calculate several landscape metrics. The metrics can be specified by the arguments what, level, metric, name and/or type (combinations of different arguments are possible (e.g. ⁠level = "class", type = "aggregation metric"⁠). If an argument is not provided, automatically all possibilities are selected. Therefore, to get all available metrics, don't specify any of the above arguments.

For all metrics based on distances or areas please make sure your data is valid using check_landscape.

Value

tibble

calculate_lsm(landscape, what = c("patch", "lsm_c_te", "lsm_l_pr"))
calculate_lsm(landscape, level = c("class", "landscape"),
type = "aggregation metric")
