An ecological network for large carnivores as a key tool for protecting landscape connectivity in the Carpathians

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The research was carried out within the international project DTP263 ConnectGREEN – Restoring and managing ecological corridors in mountains as the green infrastructure in the Danube basin (DTP2-072-2.3), supported by Interreg Danube Programme, co-financed by European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The main aim of the study was to delineate a coherent ecological network for large carnivores, using a unified methodology, which would be flexible and serve as a basis for nature and habitat connectivity protection across the Carpathians. We applied a comprehensive methodological approach based on habitat suitability modelling followed by connectivity modelling. For the habitat suitability modelling, we used a robust set of large carnivores occurrence data, which allowed us to build a solid model. From the model, we derived a layer of patches of suitable habitat of required quality and resistance surface to express landscape permeability. Both outputs were crucial for the connectivity modelling. We applied Random Walk and Least-Cost Path models and combined them to determine feasible connections between suitable habitats. With expert discussions and editing/improvement of modelled corridors, we developed a unique ecological network consisting of various components adapted to the heterogeneity of the Carpathian landscape.
