💖 topic_land...e_analysis(1) — landscape structure analysis 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the GRASS GIS User's Manual, and specifically the lil corner of it that's all about landscape structure analysis. if you've ever wanted to vibe check a raster map and get some actual numbers back about how the landscape is shaped, this is your moment. no cap. 🌸

🦋 NAME

topic_land...e_analysis — the topic page for landscape structure analysis in GRASS GIS. it's giving "index of every tool that measures landscape structure," and honestly? iconic.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

🌈 Topic: landscape structure analysis

so here's the whole squad, every tool that lives under this topic. each one takes a raster map and hands you back some kind of index about the structure of the landscape. go off, queen. 💅

  • r.li.cwed — Calculates contrast weighted edge density index on a raster map
  • r.li.dominance — Calculates dominance's diversity index on a raster map
  • r.li.edgedensity — Calculates edge density index on a raster map, using a 4 neighbour algorithm
  • r.li.mpa — Calculates mean pixel attribute index on a raster map
  • r.li.mps — Calculates mean patch size index on a raster map, using a 4 neighbour algorithm
  • r.li.padcv — Calculates coefficient of variation of patch area on a raster map
  • r.li.padrange — Calculates range of patch area size on a raster map
  • r.li.padsd — Calculates standard deviation of patch area a raster map
  • r.li.patchdensity — Calculates patch density index on a raster map, using a 4 neighbour algorithm
  • r.li.patchnum — Calculates patch number index on a raster map, using a 4 neighbour algorithm.
  • r.li.pielou — Calculates Pielou's diversity index on a raster map
  • r.li.renyi — Calculates Renyi's diversity index on a raster map
  • r.li.richness — Calculates richness index on a raster map
  • r.li.shannon — Calculates Shannon's diversity index on a raster map
  • r.li.shape — Calculates shape index on a raster map
  • r.li.simpson — Calculates Simpson's diversity index on a raster map
ngl, the r.li.* naming is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. once you know it stands for raster landscape indices you're basically in the group chat. iykyk. 🎀
