A comprehensive review of research was just completed that attempts to answer these questions and more. The report is called Landscape Patterns Environmental Quality Analysis. Landscape pattern analysis is based on the premise that there are indispensable patterns in any landscape that, if maintained, will conserve essential landscape processes. These landscape...
Conclusions: Report outlines habitat-based biodiversity standards specific to the prairie ecozone. It is intended to contribute to the delivery of habitat-based biodiversity standards in the prairie region via landscape-level indicators and targets Thresholds/Learnings: Synopsis: This report synthesizes the work completed to date on habitat-based biodiversity standards specific to the prairie ecozone. The intent of this report is to contribute to the delivery of habitat-based biodiversity standards in the Prairie region via landscape-level indicators and targets. Examples of key landscape targets for prairie landscapes that were identified included: * A minimum of 3 to 7% (<10%) of each major watershed should be...
