Hi Manuel, I also suggest you to consider the analysis tools provided by Sextante [1]. It offers "bridges" to other GIS analysis software, like GRASS and SAGA, and they have a lot of analysis functionalities and algorithms. For example GRASS has the r.li.* [1 ]set of commamds for landscape analysis

Thank you very much Simon. No offense at all, by the contrary, very helpful and very grateful for your message. I will check all the stuff you suggested. I teach landscape ecology and wildlife habitat evaluation for master students, I use R for some topics, but I want use more QGIS and stay away

Manuel, I am not aware of any specific tutorials for doing this work in QGIS. No offense but these tasks are relatively basic. Your comment "I found this task kind of difficult to do in QGIS" is suggestive that you have difficulty in either basic GIS concepts or extrapolating your existing kn

Thank you very much Simon. That works, specially the second option. What I am trying to do is a very common task in landscape ecology. The buffer could be considered a landscape for some species and some metrics could be obtained for these "landscapes", however, I found this task kind of difficu

Manuel, Once you clip the layers, break the multi-part components apart use the following menu sequence "Vector > Geometry Tools > Multiparts to Single Parts" -- then they can be summed. You will need to relate you bits back to your buffer layers however, to match which bit goes in which buff

Dear list members, I have a landuse layer and another layer with 20 circular polygons (buffers) and I want to obtain the amount of each landuse category within each circular polygon. I tried "clip" from Geoprocessing Tools but I dont get the information individualized for each circular polygon.
