... If the sheep are removed there may be a decrease in the size of the wolf population as one of their food sources has been removed. There may be a decrease in the rabbit and weasel populations as they will have increased predation by wolves. There may be more clover as less will be eaten by sheep. As ...

Habitat Corridor

An even smaller scale is a line of shrubs along a sidewalk or road way which gives birds and small mammals cover to reach their next destination if needed. Finding who ...

Agricultural systems are designed and managed by farmers, usually at field and farm scales, to favor selected components of biodiversity that provide harvestable products, or support their production (e.g., pollinators, soil microorganisms). ‘Ecoagriculture’ is an approach in which farmers work with ...

Wildlife corridor
A wildlife corridor, habitat corridor, or green corridor is an area of habitat connecting wildlife populations separated by human activities or structures (such as roads, development, or logging). This allows an exchange of individuals between populations, which may help prevent the negative effects of inbreeding and reduced genetic diversity (via genetic drift) that often occur within isolated populations. Corridors may also help facilitate the re-establishment of populations that have been reduced or eliminated due to random events (such as fires or disease).This may potentially moderate some of the worst effects of habitat fragmentation, wherein urbanization can split up habitat areas, causing animals to lose both their natural habitat and the ability to move between regions to use all of the resources they need to survive. Habitat fragmentation due to human development is an ever-increasing threat to biodiversity, and habitat corridors are a possible mitigation.
