r.li.padrange - Calculates range of patch area size on a raster map
Contents
Description
r.li.padrange calculates the range of patch area sizes in hectares as:
with:
• amax: max patch area size
• amin: min patch area size
This index is calculated using a 4 neighbour algorithm, diagonal cells are ignored when tracing a patch.
Examples
To calculate range of patch area size index on map my_map, using my_conf configuration file (previously
defined with g.gui.rlisetup) and saving results in my_out, run:
r.li.padrange input=my_map conf=my_conf output=my_out
Forest map (Spearfish sample dataset) example:
g.region raster=landcover.30m -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landcover.30m >= 41 && landcover.30m <= 43,1,null())"
r.li.padrange input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_padrange_mov7
r.univar forests_padrange_mov7
Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
g.region raster=landclass96 -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
r.li.padrange input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_padrange_mov7

Name
r.li.padrange - Calculates range of patch area size on a raster map
Notes
Do not use absolute path names for the config and output file/map parameters. If the "moving window"
method was selected in g.gui.rlisetup, then the output will be a raster map, otherwise an ASCII file will
be generated in the folder C:\Users\userxy\AppData\Roaming\GRASS8\r.li\output\ (MS-Windows) or
$HOME/.grass8/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
If the sample area contains only NULL values then r.li.padrange returns NULL.
