Parameters:¶
- input=name [required]

Name of input raster map - config=name [required]
-
Configuration file - output=name [required]
-
Name for output raster map
DESCRIPTION¶
r.li.patchdensity calculates the "patch density
index", the number of patches per square kilometer, as:
PD = Npatch / A
with:
- A:sampling area size
- Npatch: number of patches
This index is calculated using a 4 neighbour algorithm, diagonal cells are ignored when tracing a patch.
NOTES¶
Do not use absolute path names for the config and output file/map parameters. If the "moving window" method was selected in g.gui.rlisetup, then the output will be a raster map, otherwise an ASCII file will be generated in the folder C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS8\r.li\output\ (MS-Windows) or $HOME/.grass8/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
A sample area of only NULL values is considered to have zero patches, that is, the result is always ≥ 0.
EXAMPLES¶
To calculate patch density index on map my_map, using
my_conf configuration file (previously defined with
g.gui.rlisetup) and saving results in my_out, run:
r.li.patchdensity input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out
Example for Spearfish forest areas:
g.region raster=landcover.30m -p # extract forested areas: r.category landcover.30m r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43, 1, null())" # patch density (7x7 moving window defined in g.gui.rlisetup): r.li.patchdensity forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_p_dens7 r.univar forests_p_dens7 d.rast.leg forests_p_dens7 r.to.vect forests out=forests feature=area d.vect forests type=boundary
Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
g.region raster=landclass96 -p r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )" r.li.patchdensity input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_patchdensity_mov7 # verify r.univar forests_patchdensity_mov7 r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area d.mon wx0 d.rast forests_patchdensity_mov7 d.vect forests type=boundary
