Use of the Corridor Tool in Support of Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Fragmentation: Input Procedure and Initial Results

Abstract

Researchers at the Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL), Champaign, IL, determined that a Corridor Tool developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) could serve to further focus ongoing habitat research on habitat fragmentation at the landscape scale. This work tested the ORNL Corridor Tool on data related to Red-cockaded Woodpecker habitat fragmentation in the southeastern United States using widely available data to run the Corridor Tool, and to develop a general corridor analysis.
