Landscape planning
4 important questions on Landscape planning
What are some of the applications of landscape planning?
- Reserve network design
- Reserve network expansion
- Environmental impact avoidance
- Targeting of habitat restoration
- Balancing between biodiversity features and alternative land uses
- Planning under climate change
- etc.
Explain the simplified workflow of zonation
- Load a number of feature layers
- Ecosystem type
- Species richness
- Species range
- Urban areas
- Costs of the land
- Etc.
- Assign weights of importance to each layer
- Tell the model if connectivity is important
- Run the model
- Outputs are a map
What are the 2 commonly used cell removal rules for zonation?
- Marginal loss is the (weighted) maximum value within the cell, across all features.
- Cell with the smallest maximum value will be removed.
Additive benefit function (ABF):
- Marginal loss is the weighted sum of values across features within the cell.
- Cell with the smallest total value will be removed.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Explain the boundary length penalty (BLP) and how to calculate final cell value.
- BLP = boundary length (omtrek vlak) / area size (aantal blokjes in vak)
- ΔBLP = old BLP - new BLP
- Final cell value = value - ΔBLP
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
