Integration assessment of Protected Rangeland habitats using landscape ecological approach

Authors

Abstract:

The management of areas with landscape ecological approach helps us to have more integrated of considering completely management and also keep the area’s values. Lar National Park and Varjin Protected Area are the most important areas of their biodiversity and wildlife habitats. The aim of this study was quantification of fragmentation in Lar National Park and Varjin Protected Area and to compare managements and Integration assessment of Rangeland habitats in study area. For this reason Land use map was prepared using RS and GIS techniques. Then we surveyed, the fragmentation of the areas at the level of the class and the landscape using landscape’s metrics. Finally, we used fragmentation geometries methods to study the effect of human factors on rangeland habitats, the results show that Lar National Park is more integrated than the Varjin Protected Area. Also, outbuildings and changing suitable habitats to gardens and agricultural lands cause fragmentation and disintegration in Varjin protected area. The results of the metrics in the geometries of fragmentation show that the roads are the most influencing factors on the fragmentation of good range lands in Lar National Park and Varjin Protected Area, also, man-made structures have caused disintegration and negative impact on the wildlife habitat in the study area.

A landscape-ecological approach

Framework, concepts, and methods of Environmental Management Planning (EMP) are discussed. A landscape-ecological approach was taken to integrate the environmental indices. EMP focuses on regional factors natural, social, amenity related and becomes more sensitive as the scale of study increases. The processes of EMP include a vertical aspect, dealing with pollution, conservation, and amenities...

Ecological Design of Urban Landscape

Paying attention to the spatial placement of the elements (man-made or natural) based on the landscape pattern and ecological processes in urban design would have a considerable impact on both human and the nature. In a way that the discords in the placement of patchs in respect to each other, or in respect to visual corridors and urban matrixes lead to the unwanted results in the cities. The e...

Effect of Micro-Catchment on indices of Rangeland Health Using Landscape Function Analysis Method

Water harvesting is the collection of runoff for productivity purposes, instead of runoff being left to cause erosion. In arid and semi-arid drought-prone areas, micro-catchments are widely used as a water harvesting method to improve rangeland condition. The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of micro-catchment on ecological indices of rangeland health in Ghick-Sheikhha, Jirof...
