DESCRIPTION

54       r.li.edgedensity calculates:
55
56           ·   the density of all edges of patch type k , or
57
58           ·   the density of all edges in the sampling area if k is not spec‐
59               ified,
60
61       with:
62
63           ·   k: patch type
64
65           ·   m: number of patch types
66
67           ·   n: number of edge segments of patch type k
68
69           ·   eik :total edge length in the landscape involving patch type k
70
71           ·   Area: total landscape area
72
73       The unit is meters per hectare.

NOTES

76       Do not use absolute path names  for  the  config  and  output  file/map
77       parameters.    If   the   "moving   window"   method  was  selected  in
78       g.gui.rlisetup, then the output will be  a  raster  map,  otherwise  an
79       ASCII  file  will  be  generated  in  the  folder  C:\Users\userxy\App‐
80       Data\Roaming\GRASS7\r.li\output\            (MS-Windows)             or
81       $HOME/.grass7/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
82
83       If the input raster map contains only NULL values then r.li.edgedensity
84       consider to have 0 patches.
85       If area is 0 r.li.edgedensity returns NULL; this is  only  possible  if
86       input raster is masked.

EXAMPLES

89       To  calculate  the edge density index on map my_map, using my_conf con‐
90       figuration file (previously defined  with  g.gui.rlisetup)  and  saving
91       results in my_out, run:
92       r.li.edgedensity input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out
93       To  calculate edge density index of patch_type 34, using "my_conf" con‐
94       figuration file and on map "my_map", saving results  in  "my_out"  file
95       run:
96       r.li.edgedensity input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out patch_type=34
97
98       Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
99       g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
100       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
101       r.li.edgedensity input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_edgedens_mov7
102       r.univar forests_edgedens_mov7
103
104       Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
105       g.region raster=landclass96 -p
106       r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
107       r.li.edgedensity input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_edgedensity_mov7
108       # verify
109       r.univar forests_edgedensity_mov7
110       r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
