Document Summary
Consbio 12/5/16 all of these are needed for different reasons another dimension. Make room for species on land we already inhabit. What is the matrix? size of matrix area larger than protected area concerns of conservation in the matrix: connectivity habitat quality size matrix area - relatively high levels of biodiversity. Protected areas are still important, but island biogeography underestimates species richness in habitat islands some agricultural lands can support relatively high species richness. Different species utilize preserved and matrix habitats differently. Probability of moving from one block to the next determines ability of an animal to move across the landscape applications: Consbio 12/5/16 showed preference for river stretches modified by hydropower, especially reservoirs habitat flexibility unintentionally supported by fish stocking. Ecological intensification intercropping: planting multiple crops mixed together on one piece of land rotation: growing two or more crops in sequence on the same piece of land agroforestry: agricultural system including trees protected areas vs. hotspots.
