DESCRIPTION
r.li.dominance calculates the "dominance diversity index" as:
with:
- i: patch type
- m: number of different patch types
- pi: proportion of the landscape
occupied by patch type i
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.dominance
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
after index calculation.
EXAMPLES
To calculate the dominance 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.dominance 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.dominance map=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_dominance_mov7
r.univar forests_dominance_mov7
