The Conservation of Terrestrial Habitat and Landscape

摘要: Habitats are sites having appropriate levels of biotic and abiotic features required for a species’ survival reproduction, so vital elements species conservation. Habitat loss, fragmentation, isolation (increasing distance between similar habitat types) degradation threats to Contemporary tools conserving threatened include species-specific suitability models (HSMs), “GAP” analysis (relating distribution protected areas), Light Detection Ranging (LiDAR) technology employing laser scanning measure attributes, dispersal relating movement individual organisms relative “connectedness” patches. Human alteration habitats cannot be eliminated, but can mitigated through site-specific restrictions on human occupancy disturbance, methods resource extraction, treatment following disturbance.
