Landscape Fragmentation Connectivity Measures with Artificial and Real Landscape Data

Data and source code supporting the article 'Refining intra-patch connectivity measures in landscape fragmentation and connectivity indices'. It includes R scripts for generating artificial landscapes using the rflsgen package and evaluating them, as well as an evaluation of a real landscape from the Koniambo massif in New Caledonia. The work relies on the intra R package introduced in the article.

Use Cases

• Generate artificial landscapes for testing connectivity metrics based on the provided R script.
• Evaluate fragmentation and connectivity measures on synthetic landscapes using the evaluation script.
• Apply the intra R package to analyze connectivity in real-world landscapes, such as the Koniambo massif.

Strengths

• Includes reproducible R scripts for both generating and evaluating landscape data.
• Provides analysis for a specific real-world landscape (Koniambo massif, New Caledonia).
• Relies on a dedicated R package (intra) developed for the methodological work.

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and specific file formats are unknown.
• Column-level data structure and sample data are unavailable for inspection.
• The last update date is unknown, which may affect relevance for current tool versions.
