#' MESH (landscape level)
#'
#' @description Effective Mesh Size (Aggregation metric)
#'
#' @param landscape A categorical raster object: SpatRaster; Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick; stars or a list of SpatRasters.
#' @param directions The number of directions in which patches should be
#' connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case).
#'
#' @details
#' \deqn{MESH = \frac{\sum \limits_{i = 1}^{m} \sum \limits_{j = 1}^{n} a_{ij} ^ 2}{A} * \frac{1} {10000}}
#' where \eqn{a_{ij}} is the patch area in square meters and \eqn{A} is the
#' total landscape area in square meters.
#'
#' The effective mesh size is an 'Aggregation metric'. Because each patch is squared
#' before the sum is calculated and the sum is standardized by the
#' total landscape area, MESH is a relative measure of patch structure. MESH is
#' perfectly, negatively correlated to \code{\link{lsm_l_division}}.
#'
#' Because the metric is based on distances or areas please make sure your data
#' is valid using \code{\link{check_landscape}}.
#'
#' \subsection{Units}{Hectares}
#' \subsection{Range}{cell size / total area <= MESH <= total area}
#' \subsection{Behaviour}{Equals cellsize/total area if class covers only
#' one cell and equals total area if only one patch is present.}
