I study the dynamic eagle owl (bubo bubo) population in Tarn department, France (census of breeding pairs, nesting habitat, diet analysis, productivity...). I also collect many data about the wildlife by camera trapping. I want to use my statistic skill (data mining) to analyze these ecologic data in relation with the landscape structure.
Currently I study with my colleague 60 sites and we would like analyze how bubo bubo select its nesting habitat.
So, we are looking for a free software which should allow us to assess the parameters of landscape structure such as areas of (open land, shrub, woodland...), ecotone number, orientation (azimut), distances to (water, building, road, village...).....
We use QGIS software but the calculation of these parameters, especially areas, are tedious and long (50 sites + 50 random sites = 100 !!!)
I'm interested in any information regarding those subject
FRAGSTAT could be a possible option.

How to evaluate the parameters of landscape structure ?. Available from: https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_to_evaluate_the_parameters_of_landscape_structure?tpr_view=JJLi1a7EWR71X2WA0Sr2O5jOoiy1x9P3xBCj_1 [accessed Apr 26, 2017].
Thank you all for your advices. I try to use QGIS software with Python language.. I use R software for multivariate analysis but I don't know Python.
Could you give me an easy documentation about this ?
I would like use Corine Land Cover (CLC) to analyse the environmental factors like % grassland, farmland, woodland, coppice, shrubland, urban areas, water area...
The attached files were realized with the QGIS software. It is a google satellite map with a 1500m circular plot centered on an occupied nest of eagle owl (P1 file) . I added the CLC raster (P2 file)
Now I would like evaluate the surface of each color areas in the circular plot.
Do you think that the resolution of CLC is insufficient (1/100000) to measure environmental factors ?
Is there an easy procedure in QGIS to make this and relating the surfaces of color areas to the environmental factors (legend of CLC) ?
Do you think that Fragstat software is more easy to make this ?
Many thanks
Richard
I dont know if u have this one. May be is useful.
