ted using the landscape data. Technically, the
size of the transition matrix grows quadratically with the number of
cells in the landscape data, meaning that it can quickly consume a
computer’s available memory (RAM). The following figure illustrates
this, where even a million landscape cells (a 1000x1000 raster without
any missing data) requires ~7500 GB of RAM, about 1000x what is
typically available in modern consumer computers.</p>
