Effective Mesh Size (vector data) — vm_l

This function helps to analyse the patch structure the calculate process is, each patch is squared before the sums of them are calculated and the sum is standardized by the total landscape area. it is a aggregation metric.

Usage

vm_l_mesh(landscape)

Arguments

landscape: the input landscape image

Value

the returned calculated values are in column "value", and this function returns also some important information such as level and metric name, Moreover, class number and the "id" column, although both are "NA" here in the landscape level

Examples

vm_l_mesh(vector_landscape)
#> # A tibble: 1 × 5
#>   level     class id    metric  value
#>   <chr>     <chr> <chr> <chr>   <dbl>
#> 1 landscape NA    NA    mesh   0.0348
