grainscape

Efficient Modelling of Landscape Connectivity, Habitat, and Protected Area Networks

Given a landscape resistance surface, creates grains of connectivity and minimum planar graph models that can be used to calculate effective distances for landscape connectivity at multiple scales. This is a cross-platform reimplementation and update of the grainscape package (http://grainscape.r-forge.r-project.org).
