Abstract Assessing landscape connectivity allows defining the degree to which facilitates or impedes movement of a species between resource patches. In this phase climate change and biodiversity crisis, maintaining by restoring protecting connecting areas corridors is key strategy ensure survival many species. The Eurasian otter ( Lutra lutra ) freshwater top predator that slowly recovering aft...

Regularly managed electric power line corridors may provide habitats for both early-successional grassland plant species and disturbance-dependent alien plant species. These habitats are especially important in urban areas, where they can help conserve native grassland species and communities in urban greenspace. However, they can also provide further footholds for potentially invasive alien sp...

Maintaining ecological balance relies on biodiversity, and habitat network construction plays an imperative role in preserving biodiversity regional areas. Nevertheless, there is a problem with the current construction, which focuses exclusively benefits without taking other into account as well. In this paper, six species of birds varying types adaptabilities to city life are selected target b...

introduction this study is dealt with the environmental planning from a bio-cybernetic and hierarchical systems viewpoint within the context of landscape ecology. this viewpoint requires not only knowledge of the science of ecology but also ecological wisdom in order to recognize the place of humankind in nature. the conceptual and practical approach which is provided will help landscape planne...

seed bank is a central topic for plant community restoration. we determined the potential and regeneration capacity of soil seed banks of woody plant patches in conservation of the vegetation in an alpine habitat, since vegetation has completely disappeared in some sites by intensive grazing in the habitat. the study was done in mountainous area of alborz in iran. a total of 20 individual shrub...

Though landscape corridors increase dispersal of many animals and plants, it remains unknown whether these positive effects extend to the process colonization establishment new populations in fragments. Working experimentally fragmented landscapes, we tested how two aspects habitat fragments altered by – connectivity edge-to-area ratio determine patterns a solitary, cavity-nesting bee Megachile...

Despite the rising awareness of mutual benefits pollination, agricultural production, and biodiversity, Greek planning has scarcely moved toward patterns pollinator-friendly farm design models. This paper presents data from preliminary research analysis that defined generic landscape models can enhance symbiotic associations between farming production beekeeping in Greece. The main objective is...

Urban construction land expansion damages natural ecological patches, changing the relationship between residents and land. This is widespread due to global urbanization. Considering nature society in urban planning, we have established an evaluation system for green space ensure development residents’ needs while considering resource distribution. alleviate contradiction of use realize city’s ...

The acceleration of urbanization has significantly impacted the changing regional thermal environment, leading to a series ecological and environment-related problems. A scientific evaluation urban security pattern (TSPurban) strongly benefits planning layout sustainable development construction comfortable human settlements. To analyze characteristics TSPurban under cross-regional differences ...

Terrestrial long-distance migrations are declining globally: in North America, nearly 75% have been lost. Yet there has been limited research comparing habitat suitability and connectivity models to identify migration corridors across increasingly fragmented landscapes. Here we use pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) migrations in prairie habitat to compare two types of models that identify habit...
