r.li.pielou (1)
NAME
r.li.pielou - Calculates Pielou's diversity index on a raster map
KEYWORDS
raster, landscape structure analysis, diversity index
SYNOPSIS
r.li.pielou
r.li.pielou --help
r.li.pielou input=name config=name output=name [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
input=name [required]
Name of input raster map
config=name [required]
Configuration file
output=name [required]
Name for output raster map
DESCRIPTION
r.li.pielou calculates the "Pielou's diversity index" as:
with:
o J: Pielou eveness index
o H': Shannon index
o S: number of classes
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\GRASS7\r.li\output\ (MS-Windows) or $HOME/.grass7/r.li/output/ (GNU/Linux).
If the input raster contains NULL value cells, r.li.pielou returns NULL for these cells.
EXAMPLES
To calculate Pielou's diversity 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.pielou 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.pielou input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_pielou_mov7
r.univar forests_pielou_mov7
Forest map (North Carolina sample dataset) example:
g.region raster=landclass96 -p
r.mapcalc "forests = if(landclass96 == 5, 1, null() )"
r.li.pielou input=forests conf=movwindow7 out=forests_pielou_mov7
# verify
r.univar forests_pielou_mov7
r.to.vect input=forests output=forests type=area
