Calculate a selected group of metrics

## Usage

calculate_lsm(
landscape,
level = NULL,
metric = NULL,
name = NULL,
type = NULL,
what = NULL,
directions = 8,
count_boundary = FALSE,
consider_boundary = FALSE,
edge_depth = 1,
cell_center = FALSE,
classes_max = NULL,
neighbourhood = 4,
ordered = TRUE,
base = "log2",
full_name = FALSE,
verbose = TRUE,
progress = FALSE
)

## Arguments

landscape

Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick, SpatRaster (terra), stars, or a list of rasterLayers.

level

Level of metrics. Either 'patch', 'class' or 'landscape' (or vector with combination).

metric

Abbreviation of metrics (e.g. 'area').

name

Full name of metrics (e.g. 'core area').

type

Type according to FRAGSTATS grouping (e.g. 'aggregation metrics').

what

Selected level of metrics: either "patch", "class" or "landscape". It is also possible to specify functions as a vector of strings, e.g. what = c("lsm_c_ca", "lsm_l_ta").

directions

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

count_boundary

Include landscape boundary in edge length.

consider_boundary

Logical if cells that only neighbour the landscape boundary should be considered as core.

edge_depth

Distance (in cells) a cell has to be away from the patch edge to be considered as core cell.

cell_center

If true, the coordinates of the centroid are forced to be a cell center within the patch.

classes_max

Potential maximum number of present classes.

neighbourhood

The number of directions in which cell adjacencies are considered as neighbours: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case). The default is 4.

ordered

The type of pairs considered. Either ordered (TRUE) or unordered (FALSE). The default is TRUE.

base

The unit in which entropy is measured. The default is "log2", which compute entropy in "bits". "log" and "log10" can be also used.

full_name

Should the full names of all functions be included in the tibble.

verbose

Print warning messages.

progress

Print progress report.

tibble

## Details

Wrapper to calculate several landscape metrics. The metrics can be specified by the arguments what, level, metric, name and/or type (combinations of different arguments are possible (e.g. level = "class", type = "aggregation metric"). If an argument is not provided, automatically all possibilities are selected. Therefore, to get all available metrics, don't specify any of the above arguments.
