SCENARIO

In this scenario, we are going to develop a functional landscape for a newly-discovered frog species. The circular home range for the frog species is 8 hectares, and this frog species only lives in areas where the forest patch area is greater than or equal to 4 hectares. The equation on the right shows how the radius of the home range was determined.

FRAGSTATS will require you to input a shape and radius for our analysis. As demonstrated in the video, select "round" analysis with a radius of 160 meters.

The following steps will outline how to run a moving window analysis to identify areas with a suitable landscape for our frog species to live.
