Corridors and Networks in Landscape：Structure,Functions and Ecological Effects

Network is defined in GIS as a system composed of arcs and nodes （Cova and Goodchild, 2002）. In real land- scape, network corresponds to a complex of corridors in its early definition （Forman and Godron, 1986）. Al- though not occupying a large percentage of area, net- work plays a dominant role in l...

More Information
Summary:Network is defined in GIS as a system composed of arcs and nodes （Cova and Goodchild, 2002）. In real land- scape, network corresponds to a complex of corridors in its early definition （Forman and Godron, 1986）. Al- though not occupying a large percentage of area, net- work plays a dominant role in landscape functions through its high connectivity and intensive flows of or- ganisms, materials, energy and information. Habitat within network is generally characterized by frequent disturbance and active dynamics （Collinge, 1996; Haddad, 1999）.
