Connectivity and landscape management
23 important questions on Connectivity and landscape management
What different kinds of connectivty do you have?
- Partial: Trees are left for growing there
- Intensive: Narrow corridor between parks
- Extensive: Broad landscape of conservation-friendly human land use connecting multiple protected areas
What are the positive effects of connectivity?
- Helps accomodate species range shifts
- Promotes gene flow as species go through poluation bottlenecks
Why are connections over very large distances unlikely?
- If climate change is severe enough to require long-distance connecitivty it will also affect a large number of species
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What are the negative effects of connectivity?
- Land uses that involve disturbances
- Diseases can spread more easily
What is the problem with area demanding species?
Why is connectivity for large species so important?
- When the keystone species are lost, food chain reverberations may affect ecosystem structure and process
What are boom and bust cycles?
- low numbers when food availability is low
- Top predators are needed to modulate herbivore populations
Which populations will be less vulnerable to climate change?
What does climate change to migratory species?
What do stepping stones allow?
What happens when timing of migration is affected?
- Geese arriving early in artic summer, so grass is still dormant
What is plant connectivity?
- Small scale connectivity will often occur on the periphery of existing protected areas to complement range already protected
What is the key principle for cost-effective connectivity?
What do large animals and predators need?
What do small animals/birds need?
What do habitat chains do?
- populations will be geographically distributed to minimize changes of extinction
Why is distributed connectivity important?
- Changes do not proceed in one area, having connectivity in another area increases the change that multiple subpopulations will survive
What is the planning process?
- Expert opinion and climate modeling is used
What helps to create cost-effective solutions?
- minimizing the need for new protection
What is a key activity in planning climate change connectivity?
What is climate blowback?
What does regional coordination ensure? And what is needed?
Multiyear data is needed: Planting times
Annual data is needed: Determine when needed resources should be in place and ready
What do you need to do for fine scale connectivity of multiple species?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
