Biodiversity Index Calculation (DSS-BIC)

UP9f Biodiversity Index Calculation (DSS-BIC) is a user product for calculating biodiversity in the landscape scope. The main features are:

• Calculate the landscape biodiversity. 
• Receive input from landcover data image and transform the satellite image into the required index (Shannon Index and Evenness) along with all the information on regulations, fire events, and when the rehabilitation programs start.
• Calculate the Shannon Index. The Shannon Index is a measure used to quantify species diversity within a given ecosystem or community.
• Calculate the evenness index. The Evenness Index expresses the regularity in the representation of individual categories.
• Overlay the spatial-temporal data on the base map.

Provide time series analysis of the biodiversity before, on fire incident, and after forest rehabilitation.
