Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the IENE Project Award 2016. This authoritative volume brings together some of the world’s leading researchers, academics, practitioners and transportation agency personnel to present the current status of the ecological sustainability of the linear infrastructure – primarily road, rail and utility easements – that dissect and fragment landscapes globally. It outlines the potential impacts, demonstrates how this infrastructure is being improved, and how broad ecological principles are applied to mitigate the impact of road networks on wildlife. Research and monitoring is an important aspect of road ecology, encompassing all phases of a transportation project. This book covers research and monitoring to span the entire project continuum – starting with planning and design, through construction and into maintenance and management. It focuses on impacts and solutions for species groups and specific regions, with particular emphasis on the unique challenges facing Asia, South America and Africa. Other key features: Contributions from authors originating from over 25 countries, including from all continents Each chapter summarizes important lessons, and includes lists of further reading and thoroughly up to date references Highlights principles that address key points relevant to all phases in all road projects Explains best-practices based on a number of successful international case studies Chapters are "stand-alone", but they also build upon and complement each other; extensive cross-referencing directs the reader to relevant material elsewhere in the book Handbook of Road Ecology offers a comprehensive summary of approximately 30 years of global efforts to quantify the impacts of roads and traffic and implement effective mitigation. As such, it is essential reading for those involved in the planning, design, assessment and construction of new roads; the management and maintenance of existing roads; and the modifying or retrofitting of existing roads and problem locations. This handbook is an accessible resource for both developed and developing countries, including government transportation agencies, Government environmental/conservation agencies, NGOs, and road funding and donor organisations.

Download or read book Connectivity Conservation written by Kevin R. Crooks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-02 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity conservation research and implementation. It shows the challenges involved in applying existing knowledge to real-world examples and highlights areas in need of further study. Containing contributions from leading scientists and practitioners, this topical and thought-provoking volume will be essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in conservation biology and natural resource management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the vast network of roads continues to expand across the continent, so too does the necessity to understand the associated ecological effects. To appropriately assess the impacts of these roads on wildlife it is necessary to evaluate how they affect ecological processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In particular, where hunting is associated with road access, roads may induce heightened behavioral responses. I assessed the effects of forest roads on habitat selection and activity patterns of a population of black bears (Ursus americanus) in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains of northern Idaho, USA. This black bear population is exposed to high hunting and recreational pressure facilitated by a dense network of forest roads and its close proximity to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and Spokane, Washington. Current hunting season structure allows for use of bait and dogs in spring and portions of the fall seasons, with an additional non-lethal summer pursuit season. I used Global Positioning Systems (GPS) locations collected at 20 minute intervals from 25 collared adult bears from June 1 2007 through November 2008 to elucidate the multi-scale effects of roads on black bear habitat selection, activity patterns and movement rates. I hypothesized that the effects of roads on black bears would be scale dependent, such that at larger spatial and temporal scales roads would have little effect on habitat use, whereas at finer spatiotemporal scales habitat selection, behavior and movement rates of black bears would be affected by roads as traffic volumes increased. While habitat selection varied by month as well as by gender, selection for features presumably associated with risk (canopy cover and distance to roads) and activity patterns near roads illuminated an apparent trade-off between the costs and benefits associated with spending time near roads. This work suggest that although areas adjacent to roads likely contain resources desirable to bears, the risks associated with these areas require them adjust their use of and activity patterns within these areas so as to minimize mortality risk. Manipulation of road access and season dates may be a useful management tool to affect the vulnerability of bears to hunter harvest.
