Core area index (Core area metric)
lsm_p_cai(landscape, directions = 8, consider_boundary = FALSE, edge_depth = 1)
landscape |
A categorical raster object: SpatRaster; Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick; stars or a list of SpatRasters. |
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 = (\frac{a_{ij}^{core}} {a_{ij}}) * 100
where a_{ij}^{core}
is the core area in square meters and a_{ij}
is the area in square meters.
CAI is a 'Core area metric'. It equals the percentage of a patch that is core area. A cell is defined as core area if the cell has no neighbour with a different value than itself (rook's case). It describes patch area and shape simultaneously (more core area when the patch is large and the shape is rather compact, i.e. a square). Because the index is relative, it is comparable among patches with different area.
Percent
0 <= CAI <= 100
CAI = 0 when the patch has no core area and approaches CAI = 100 with increasing percentage of core area within a patch.
