Landscape Planning for Conservation, Based on the InVEST Model of Habitat Quality and Ecological Impact Assessment of Road Network in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari Province
One of the primary goals of conservation portfolio selection approaches is to create a functional landscape or network of sites that can support all elements of biodiversity and minimize the environmental risk to critical habitats and species. As human activities, especially roads network development, can be regarded as one of the most important risk elements for the valuable habitats and s...
متن کاملMinimizing Landscape Resistance for Habitat Conservation
Modeling 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. The analysis of electric current in such networks allows biologists ...
متن کاملDistribution of salmon-habitat potential relative to landscape characteristics and implications for conservation.
The geographic distribution of stream reaches with potential to support high-quality habitat for salmonids has bearing on the actual status of habitats and populations over broad spatial extents. As part of the Coastal Landscape Analysis and Modeling Study (CLAMS), we examined how salmon-habitat potential was distributed relative to current and future (+100 years) landscape characteristics in t...
متن کاملCosts of landscape silviculture for fire and habitat management
In forest reserves of the U.S. Pacific Northwest, management objectives include protecting late-semi habitat structure by reducing the threat of large-scale disturbances like wildfire. We simulated how altering withinand among-stand structure with silvicultural treatments of differing intensity affected late-seral forest (LSF) structure and fire threat (FT) reduction over 30 years in a 6070-ha ...
متن کاملUsing habitat distribution models to evaluate large-scale landscape priorities for spatially dynamic species
1. Large-scale conservation planning requires the identification of priority areas in which species have a high likelihood of long-term persistence. This typically requires high spatial resolution data on species and their habitat. Such data are rarely available at a large geographical scale, so distribution modelling is often required to identify the locations of priority areas. However, distr...
