In phuais/multilandR: Landscape Analysis at Multiple Spatial Scales

'MultiLandMetrics' object

Description

An object of class 'MultiLandMetrics' generated with mland_metrics(), for the purposes of package examples of the following functions: metrics_filter(), metrics_gradient(), metrics_corr(), metrics_plots() and metrics_bind(). See 'MultiLand-class' for general information about these objects.

Usage

ed_metrics

Format

An object of class MultiLandMetrics of length 1.

Details

The main internal object is a data.frame (accesible through ed_metrics@data) with information about the values of two landscape metrics: "pland" (percentage of landscape) and "ed" (edge density).

The object was created from the MultiLand object named "ernesdesign", which received two raster layers from a small portion of the ecoregion "El Chaco" as main inputs. The main rasterlayer was provided by the project "MapBiomas Chaco" for the year 2000. The extra rasterlayer contained the NDVI values of cells within the same extent of the main rasterlayer, and was provided by Landsat.
