Likely a very basic question, but I've been having issues performing local scale raster functions. I have a raster map with vegetation variables covering multiple counties. However, to this map I want to add values that relate to variables like the distance from paved roads (i.e., <500 m = adding 2 to the matrix, 500-1000 m = adding 4, 1000-1500 = adding 6, and 1500+ = adding 8). However, when I perform the raster math function, it's taking the data value of the specified distance (e.g. a vector buffer of 500m converted to raster format) and applying it to the whole of the map instead of adding it strictly where the overlay occurred. Is there a way to only add the specified value on the local scale of interest?
Any information would be welcome. This has been an issue of frustration.
