This chapter provides a description of the study area, along with the data and methods used for habitat connectivity modeling for six focal wildlife species (black bear, brown bear, wolverine, Canada lynx, Dall sheep, and moose) on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. GIS (geographic information system) data for the study area were acquired from a variety of sources and modified to develop habitat quality and resistance surface models for each of the focal species. Habitat quality models were further developed to identify concentrated areas of higher quality habitat, referred to as core habitat. Resistance-based modeling of least-cost corridors and pinch points were developed for the purposes of land-use and transportation planning. Subsequent chapters in this book discuss the results of habitat quality and connectivity modeling.

摘要

This chapter provides a description of the study area, along with the data and methods used for habitat connectivity modeling for six focal wildlife species (black bear, brown bear, wolverine, Canada lynx, Dall sheep, and moose) on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. GIS (geographic information system) data for the study area were acquired from a variety of sources and modified to develop habitat quality and resistance surface models for each of the focal species. Habitat quality models were further developed to identify concentrated areas of higher quality habitat, referred to as core habitat. Resistance-based modeling of least-cost corridors and pinch points were developed for the purposes of land-use and transportation planning. Subsequent chapters in this book discuss the results of habitat quality and connectivity modeling.
