DESCRIPTION
r.li.mps (mean patch size) calculates the mean size of the patches in
the sampling area as:
MPS = A / Npatch
with:
• A:sampling area size without null cells
• Npatch: number of patches
The unit of the mean size is hectare.
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 pa-
rameters. 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\App-
Data\Roaming\GRASS7\r.li\output\ (MS-Windows) or
$HOME/.grass7/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
If the sample area contains only NULL value cells, r.li.mps returns 0
(zero).
EXAMPLES
To calculate mean path size index on map my_map, using my_conf configu-
ration file (previously defined with g.gui.rlisetup) and saving results
in my_out, run:
r.li.mps input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out
Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
r.li.mps input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_mps_mov7
r.univar forests_mps_mov7
Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
g.region raster=landclass96 -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
r.li.mps input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_mps_mov7
# verify
r.univar forests_mps_mov7
r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
