Figure 3 Organizational landscape, linkages, and influence level of key actors in the agriculture policymaking process in DRC.
Habitats as small as an individual tree may provide important landscape linkages across a densely urbanized city.
Tools and approaches include methods to predict where cheetahs are most likely to occur, quantify habitat suitability and fragmentation, assess population viability, and identify landscape linkages.
These findings suggest that dirt roads provide potentially important landscape linkages for D. stephensi, whereas that gravel roads may act as movement barriers.
Least-cost path models identified important landscape linkages, and model results were used to delineate a Dispersal Zone to accommodate future panther dispersal outside of south Florida.
Using 840 km of surveys for animal signs within a region of 621 km2, we modeled landscape linkages via resource selection functions integrated across two spatial resolutions, and then potential dispersal corridors within these linkages using circuit theoretical models.
We hypothesized that landscape linkages between the forested upland and adjacent inshore marine waters, via river, groundwater and overland flows, may influence carbon content and metabolism in the coastal zone.
Fewer than half of the high-risk species showed overlap between current and future potential range, showing that propagule transport, establishment of species in novel ranges and conservation of landscape linkages will be critical for maintenance of biodiversity.
The modelling results suggest that landscape linkages through the redistribution of water and soil resources across vegetation-transition zones at the landscape scale and feedback dynamics of overland-flow processes play a significant role in the persistence of land degradation in the US Southwest.
In this article, Allometric models and the traditional multiple linear regression models for estimating the linkage between landscape metrics and water quality were tested in Sihu Basin, Hubei Province, China.
