Detecting Gaps in the Ecological Network – Transnational Assessment and Regional Studies in Saxony (Germany) and Moravia (Czech Republic)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter deals with the identification of gaps in transnational ecological networks. First, the methodology is introduced, followed by results from overall transnational assessment and by two case studies from Saxony (Germany) and Moravia (Czech Republic). The analyses are based on spatial data and were performed in a GIS. After collecting and harmonising national as well as European data sets of protected areas, all areas were classified according to the international standard provided by the categories of the IUCN. Following these basic data preparation steps, a gap analysis was performed, where the gaps were defined as unprotected areas with high natural value. The methodology is based on an unspecified species approach and on the detection of potential habitat corridors. The aim was to include valuable areas into the ecological network through the enlargement of protected areas and the protection of stepping stones and therefore to improve the connectivity of protected sites to each other. The performed analysis illustrates a method of how to connect protected areas across borders with each other. Often protected areas are too small to allow for the persistence of viable populations of species and connecting networks of protected sites may increase species’ persistence. The need to recover endangered species and rare habitat types has driven the demand for habitat connectivity. One of the solutions is to maintain and restore habitats that will provide connections between protected areas. For that reason the gap analysis focuses on connecting protected areas via potential suitable habitat corridors and potential corridors of protected areas.
