Most of the world's biodiversity will continue to exist outside protected areas and there are also managed lands within many protected areas. In the assessment of millennium targets, there is therefore a need for indicators to measure biodiversity and suitability of habitats for biodiversity both across the whole landscape/seascape and in specific managed habitats. The two predominant land uses...

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...

The development of agricultural landscapes during the last decades has been characterized by an increase in management intensity, and a consequent decrease in the number and size of natural and semi-natural habitats. As a result, isolation of populations of stenotopic species of forests, shores, heathers, etc., has increased. This is a serious problem, especially for smaller invertebrates with ...

Protected areas have two tasks on a global scale: First, to protect biodiversity and second, ensure the continuity of ecosystem services. Identifying potential links between protected in region barriers these or restoration points is very important for effective development implementation conservation strategies within scope biodiversity. In this study firstly, connectivity corridors 10 differe...
