EBVmetric: EBV metric

Description

This function formats GFC and computes structural metrics of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV metrics): forest-cover areas and landscape metrics, in predefined polygons or GADM.

Usage

EBVmetric(pol, what = "lsm_l_tafc", mc.cores = detectCores(), 
    ...)

Arguments

pol

RasterStack.Stack such as these produced by FCMask.

what

character. The metrics. These include 'lsm_l_tafc' to compute total forest-cover areas (ha) and other landscape metrics in calculate_lsm. Default ('lsm_l_tafc').

mc.cores

numeric. The number of cores, see mclapply.

…

additional arguments in calculate_lsm.

Value

tibble.

Details

Coordinate system of the spatial units should be UTM. Metrics other than 'lsm_l_tafc' are calculated implementing calculate_lsm.
