Case Studies; Notes; References; IndexThe fragmenting of habitats is endangering animal populations and degrading or destroying many plant populations throughout the world. To address this problem, conservationists have increasingly turned to biological corridors, areas of land set aside to facilitate the movement of species and ecological processes. However, while hundreds of corridor initiatives are under way worldwide, there is little practical information to guide their design, location, and management. ""Applying Nature's Design"" offers a comprehensive overview of current knowledge on corridors, their design, and theCorridors (Ecology)Electronic books.Corridors (Ecology).333.9516Anderson Anthony B856802Jenkins Clinton N856803AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910452843703321Applying Nature's Design1913577UNINA
