ATtILA Toolbox
Analytical Tools Interface for Landscape Assessments (ATtILA)
ATtILA is an easy to use Esri ArcGIS toolbox created by EPA that calculates many commonly used landscape metrics. It accepts data from a broad range of sources and is equally suitable across all landscapes, from deserts to rain forests to urban areas.
Three Metric Groups are Included in the Toolbox:
- Landscape characteristics: related to land cover proportions and patch metrics (e.g. percent forest cover or number and size of forest patches)
- Riparian characteristics: describe land cover adjacent to and near streams (e.g. percent of crop land within 30 meters of streams)
- Human stressors: concern population, roads, and land use practices (e.g. population change or road/stream crossings)
Download the Toolbox
