Diversity indexes require multi-class raster maps. In order to calculate landscape diversity, the user must set which land use class codes are relevant for the calculation. In our example data, we have the land use for Rio Claro municipality. LSMetrics run the landscape diversity measures with all classes. We suggest always having more than three classes in your land use map to increase the variability in the landscape diversity measures. The user must choose the window size that will be used to calculate the diversity in landscape. In the example, we set as 1000 m and click to calculate all diversity measures. This means that the search radius will be 1000 meters.
