Mapping landscape connectivity as a driver of species richness under tectonic and climatic forcing [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019
Species distribution and richness ultimately result from complex interactions between biological, physical, and environmental factors. It has been recently shown for a static natural landscape that the elevational connectivity, which measures the ...

Urban landscape ecology and its evaluation : a review [PDF]

, 2009
Urban landscapes exhibit combinations of environmental features that are rarely encountered in non-urban settings resulting in habitat types, habitat associations and vegetation communities not found elsewhere.

Review of mechanism and quantifying methods of river system connectivity

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2017
"Connectivity" in a river ecosystem originated from landscape ecology, which plays a significant role in hydrological cycle, wildlife migration, and environment improvement.

Supporting Adaptive Connectivity in Dynamic Landscapes

Land, 2020
A central tenet of landscape conservation planning is that natural communities can be supported by a connected landscape network that supports many species and habitat types.

Landscape connectivity for the invisibles

Ecography, 2022
Because of land use changes, a worldwide decrease in biodiversity is underway, mostly driven by habitat degradation and fragmentation. Increasing landscape connectivity (i.e. the degree to which the landscape facilitates movement between habitat patches) has been proposed as a key landscape‐level strategy to counterbalance the negative effects of ...

The Potentials for the Ecological Management of Landscape Connectivity Including Aquatic Ecosystems in Northeast Albania

Hydrobiology, 2023
At the landscape level, freshwater ecosystems are linked at various spatial and temporal scales by movements of different fauna components adapted to life in water.

Prioritizing Abandoned Mine Lands Rehabilitation: Combining Landscape Connectivity and Pattern Indices with Scenario Analysis Using Land-Use Modeling

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018
Connectivity modeling approaches for abandoned mine lands (AML) patches are limited in post-mining landscape restoration, especially where great land use changes might be expected due to large-scale land reclamation.

Dynamic Landscape Connectivity Special Issue Editorial

Land, 2021
Until fairly recently, the majority of landscape connectivity analyses have considered connectivity as a static landscape feature, despite the widespread recognition that landscapes and the abiotic and biotic processes that influence them are dynamic [...

Breaking functional connectivity into components: a novel approach using an individual-based model, and first outcomes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Landscape connectivity is a key factor determining the viability of populations in fragmented landscapes. Predicting 'functional connectivity', namely whether a patch or a landscape functions as connected from the perspective of a focal species, poses ...
