Subject: Unit of cellsize in 'ascgen' from adehabitatMR? Spatialpoints unit?
Hello dear all,
A simple understanding question but I cannot find the answer anywhere.
I use coordiates (longitude, latitude) in my study. I created a
SpatialPoints class from those data and then I created a grid using the
'ascgen' command in the package 'adehabitatMR' like:
ascgen(xy,cellsize=40).
It worked out fine and my analysis is doing great. But I don't know what
unit the 'cellsize' is. Is it the area (squaremeter), or the length of
the border of each rastercell (meter)? Or is it some dimension that I
cannot grasp from a geografical sense? I can't find the information
anywhere.
Best, Dagmar
