NAME¶
r.li.padsd - Calculates standard deviation of patch area a raster
map
KEYWORDS¶

SYNOPSIS¶
r.li.padsd

[--

Flags:¶
- --overwrite
-
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --verbose
-
Verbose module output
- --quiet
-
Quiet module output
Parameters:¶
- map=name
-
Name of input raster map
- conf=name
-
Configuration file
- output=name
-
Name for output raster map
DESCRIPTION¶
r.li.padsd calculates the standard deviation of patch area sizes in
hectares as:
with:
- MPS: mean patch area size
- ai: area of patch i
- 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
output map/file. If the
"moving window" method was selected in
r.li.setup, then the
output will be a raster map, otherwise an ASCII file will be generated in the
$HOME/.r.li/output/ folder.
If input raster is not full of null values
r.li.padsd returns a value
>=0 that is PADsd.
If the input raster map contains only NULL values then
r.li.padsd returns
-1.
If you want to change these -1 values to NULL, run subsequently on the resulting
map:
r.null setnull=-1 map=my_map
after index calculation.
EXAMPLES¶
To calculate patch area distribution standard deviation index on map
my_map, using
my_conf configuration file (previously defined
with
r.li.setup) and saving results in
my_out, run:
r.li.padsd map=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out
Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
g.region rast=landcover.30m -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m
<= 43,1,null())"
r.li.padsd map=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_padsd_mov7
r.univar forests_padsd_mov7
