Scientists: wildlife corridors benefit plant biodiversity, native plants

Filed Under:

A six-year study at the world’s largest experimental landscape devoted to the corridors — links between otherwise isolated natural areas — has found that more plant species, and specifically more native plant species, persist in areas connected by the corridors than in isolated areas.

This study helps to quell the debate.  Linkages, corridors, and decreased fragmentation of natural systems encourages more plant species, and specifically more native plant species, persist in areas connected by the corridors than in isolated areas.  This is intuitive, and a good general rule to follow when planning to limit development impacts to a system.
