lsm_l_ent(landscape, neighbourhood = 4, base = "log2")
Value
tibble
Arguments
landscape
A categorical raster object: SpatRaster; Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick; stars or a list of SpatRasters.
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.
base
The unit in which entropy is measured.
The default is "log2", which compute entropy in "bits".
"log" and "log10" can be also used.
Details
It measures a diversity (thematic complexity) of landscape classes.
