NAME
r.li.richness - Calculates richness index on a raster map
KEYWORDS
raster, landscape structure analysis, diversity index
SYNOPSIS
r.li.richness
r.li.richness help
r.li.richness map=name conf=name output=name [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]
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.richness calculates the "richness diversity index" as:
with:
- m: number of different patch types
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 the input raster map contains only NULL values then r.li.richness
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
EXAMPLES
To calculate the richness diversity 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.richness 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.richness map=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_richness_mov7
r.univar forests_richness_mov7
