Landscape and Connectivity
- http://www.albertapcf.org/publications/landscape-patterns-analysis
- The Landscapes Patterns project is intended to provide support to multiple organizations with an interest in achieving environmental outcomes on landscapes of varying scales in the north-west part of the North American continent in general, and in Alberta in particular. The project undertook a literature review of publications that show a relationship between human land use and land use patterns and the qualitative state of various parts of the environment. Most published research focuses on wildlife species and water quality. And the report, spreadsheet and presentation can be links as well as the link to LC Map.
