Note: the diagonal elements in italic represent the persistent (unchanged) LULC classes. P_i+ = total in time 1, P_+j = total in time 2, C_j = total change, S_j = the amount of swap, D_j = the absolute value of net change, l_p = loss-to-persistence ratio, g_p = gain-to-persistence ratio, and g_l = gross gain-to-loss ratio
