Mean of core area index (Core area metric)
lsm_c_cai_mn(
landscape,
directions = 8,
consider_boundary = FALSE,
edge_depth = 1
)
landscape |
Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick, SpatRaster (terra), stars, or a list of rasterLayers. |
directions |
The number of directions in which patches should be connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case). |
consider_boundary |
Logical if cells that only neighbour the landscape boundary should be considered as core |
edge_depth |
Distance (in cells) a cell has the be away from the patch edge to be considered as core cell |
CAI_{MN} = mean(CAI[patch_{ij}]
where CAI[patch_{ij}]
is the core area index of each patch.
CAI_MN is a 'Core area metric'. The metric summarises each class as the mean of the core area index of all patches belonging to class i. The core area index is the percentage of core area in relation to patch area. A cell is defined as core area if the cell has no neighbour with a different value than itself (rook's case).
Percent
0 <= CAI_MN <= 100
CAI_MN = 0 when all patches have no core area and approaches CAI_MN = 100 with increasing percentage of core area within patches.
