Land, 2021 Landscape connectivity is important for all organisms as it directly affects population dynamics. Yet, rapid urbanization has caused serious landscape fragmentation, which is the primary contributor of species extinctions worldwide. Previous studies have

Using network centrality measures to manage landscape connectivity [PDF]
, 2008 We use a graph-theoretical landscape modeling approach to investigate how to identify central patches in the landscape as well as how these central patches influence (1) organism movement within the local neighborhood, and (2) the dispersal of organisms ...

Representation of landscape hydrological connectivity using a topographically driven surface flow index. [PDF]
, 2009 This paper assesses the extent to which a topographically defined description of the spatial arrangement of catchment wetness can be used to represent landscape hydrological connectivity in temperate river catchments.

Understanding the hydrological and landscape connectivity of lakes. [PDF]
Landsc EcolAbstract Context Connectivity is a key property of water, enabling the flow of energy, material and individuals within and between sites. Climate and land use changes can profoundly modify connectivity, yet few studies have quantified the patterns in connectivity among lakes at national scales.

Optimizing the ecological connectivity of landscapes
Networks, 2022 AbstractIn this article, we consider the problem of optimizing the connectivity of a landscape under a budget constraint, by improving habitat areas and ecological corridors between them. We model this problem as a discrete optimization problem over graphs, in which vertices represent the habitat areas and arcs represent the connections between them ...

Landscape Connectivity as a Function of Scale and Organism Vagility in a Real Forested Landscape
Ecology and Society, 2002 Landscape connectivity is considered a vital element of landscape structure because of its importance to population survival. The difficulty surrounding the notion of landscape connectivity is that it must be assessed at the scale of the interaction ...
