Coefficient of variation fractal dimension index (Shape metric)
lsm_l_frac_cv(landscape, directions = 8)tibble
Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick, SpatRaster (terra), stars, or a list of rasterLayers.
The number of directions in which patches should be connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case).
$$FRAC_{CV} = cv(FRAC[patch_{ij}])$$ where \(FRAC[patch_{ij}]\) equals the fractal dimension index of each patch.
FRAC_CV is a 'Shape metric'. The metric summarises the landscape as the Coefficient of variation of the fractal dimension index of all patches in the landscape. The fractal dimension index is based on the patch perimeter and the patch area and describes the patch complexity. The Coefficient of variation is scaled to the mean and comparable among different landscapes.
None
FRAC_CV >= 0
Equals FRAC_CV = 0 if the fractal dimension index is identical for all patches. Increases, without limit, as the variation of the fractal dimension indices increases.
