Continental shelf and margins contains a wide variety of habitats that have traditionally remained poorly explored because of their inaccessibility to humans and low-light conditions. This is the case of marine caves, coralligenous outcrops, sponge grounds, maërl beds, or gorgonian and black coral gardens, among others.

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
The development of transportation infrastructure requires a long planning, funding, and implementation cycle that often takes more than a decade for a particular project. Environmental mitigation is usually planned and implemented late in this process and on a project-by-project basis.

Towards the Computational Assessment of the Conservation Status of a Habitat
2023We propose methods to automatically assess the conservation status of a habitat. Habitat monitoring is usually performed by botanists and other specialists in their field work, searching for the presence or lack of typical plant species (Evans D, Arvela M (2011) Assessment and reporting under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive. Explanatory Notes &

Landscape–stream interactions and habitat conservation for amphibians
Ecological Applications, 2011Semiaquatic organisms depend on the features of both water bodies and landscapes; the interplay between terrestrial and aquatic systems might influence the semiaquatic communities, determining the scale at which management would be more effective. However, the consequences of such interplay are not frequently quantified, particularly at the community ...

Minimizing Landscape Resistance for Habitat Conservation
2017Modeling ecological connectivity is an area of increasing interest amongst biologists and conservation agencies. In the past few years, different modeling approaches have been used by experts in the field to understand the state of wildlife distribution. One of these approaches is based on modeling land as a resistive network.

Mitigation of Habitat “Take”: Application to Habitat Conservation Planning
Conservation Biology, 1997One of the most important provisions of the U.S. Endangered Species Act precludes the “taking” of listed species on both public and private land. In past Endangered Species Act litigation, take has been broadly interpreted to include the destruction or modification of habitats as well as the direct killing of animals.

Distribution, Habitats and Conservation
2015Grasses are found on all continents, including Antarctica (Convey 2001), and exhibit remarkable ecological diversity. Species occur in deep shade of tropical forests, in full sun in deserts, from near the poles to the equator, and from sea level to high altitudes.

Three Paradoxes of Habitat Conservation Plans
Environmental Management, 2009Habitat conservation plans (HCPs) are enabled under section 10(a) of the Endangered Species Act. The substantial increase since 1994 in the number of HCPs has motivated numerous critiques of nearly every aspect of HCPs. These critiques have overlooked several paradoxes that expose fundamental shortcomings of section 10(a) or its implementation. I refer

Accounting for Habitat Dynamics in Conservation Planning
2009Abstract The ‘conservation prioritization problem’ has traditionally been formulated as a static problem (Chapter 3). This involves determining the priority of different planning units under the assumption that most of the high-priority planning units will eventually be added to the reserve network, and the low priority planning units ...

Adaptive Management in Habitat Conservation Plans
Conservation Biology, 2002Abstract: Habitat conservation plans ( HCPs) allow incidental take of threatened or endangered species in exchange for conservation measures that minimize and mitigate such taking. Habitat conservation plans entail a compromise between regulatory certainty and scientific uncertainty.
