37 Parameters:
39 input=name [required]
40 Name of input raster map
41 config=name [required]
43 Configuration file
44 output=name [required]
46 Name for output raster map
47 patch_type=string
49 The value of the patch type
50 It can be integer, double or float; it will be changed in function
51 of map type

54 r.li.edgedensity calculates:
55 • the density of all edges of patch type k , or
57 • the density of all edges in the sampling area if k is not spec‐
59 ified,
60 with:
62 • k: patch type
64 • m: number of patch types
66 • n: number of edge segments of patch type k
68 • eik :total edge length in the landscape involving patch type k
70 • Area: total landscape area
72 The unit is meters per hectare.
74
76 Do not use absolute path names for the config and output file/map pa‐
77 rameters. 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\GRASS8\r.li\output\ (MS-Windows) or
81 $HOME/.grass8/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
82 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.
87
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 re‐
91 sults 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 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 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
