lsm_c_enn_sd: ENN_SD (class level)

Description

Standard deviation of euclidean nearest-neighbor distance (Aggregation metric)

Usage

lsm_c_enn_sd(landscape, directions, verbose)

# S3 method for RasterLayer lsm_c_enn_sd(landscape, directions = 8, verbose = TRUE)

# S3 method for RasterStack lsm_c_enn_sd(landscape, directions = 8, verbose = TRUE)

# S3 method for RasterBrick lsm_c_enn_sd(landscape, directions = 8, verbose = TRUE)

# S3 method for stars lsm_c_enn_sd(landscape, directions = 8, verbose = TRUE)

# S3 method for list lsm_c_enn_sd(landscape, directions = 8, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

landscape

Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick or a list of rasterLayers.

directions

The number of directions in which patches should be connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case).

verbose

Print warning message if not sufficient patches are present

Value

tibble

Details

$$ENN_{SD} = sd(ENN[patch_{ij}])$$ where \(ENN[patch_{ij}]\) is the euclidean nearest-neighbor distance of each patch.

ENN_CV is an 'Aggregation metric'. It summarises each class as the standard deviation of each patch belonging to class i. ENN measures the distance to the nearest neighbouring patch of the same class i. The distance is measured from edge-to-edge. The range is limited by the cell resolution on the lower limit and the landscape extent on the upper limit. The metric is a simple way to describe patch isolation. Because it is scaled to the mean, it is easily comparable among different landscapes.

Units

Meters

Range

ENN_SD >= 0

Behaviour

Equals ENN_SD = 0 if the euclidean nearest-neighbor distance is identical for all patches. Increases, without limit, as the variation of ENN increases.
