Dear all,

Good evening. What is the correct procedure to calculate a Habitat Fragmentation Index using QGIS or FRAGSTAT Software starting from a vector layer? I suppose that, first, I must convert the vector layer into a raster layer. Is that correct? At the beginning, I was thinking about the Shannon Diversity Index, but I don't think that it's appropriate as it calculates the diversity in terms of habitats, but not the degree of fragmentation.

More, I was wondering if it's possible to perform the same procedure using R Software.

Many thanks,

Marcello
