How to calculate landscape metrics for local landscapes?
, 2020 In the last few weeks, I was asked a similar question several times - how to calculate landscape metrics for local landscapes? In other words, how to divide the categorical input map into a number of smaller areas, and next calculate selected landscape metrics for each of the areas. Those areas have many names, such as tiles, squares, or motifels.

Geometric approaches to computing 3D-landscape metrics
Landscape Online, 2010 The relationships between patterns and processes lie at the core of modern landscape ecology. These dependences can be quantified by using indices related to the patch-corridor-matrix model.
