The landscape permeability for wildlife may be negatively affected by number of elements which create linear or surface barriers. The potential barriers are i.e. roads, railways, watercourses, urban zones, fenced areas etc. We evaluate all the existing barriers for migration of large mammals in the CR within the research project “Evaluation of the landscape permeability for large mammals and proposal of protective mitigating measures” leading by the Ministry of the Environment. Firstly, we evaluate the permeab...

Landscape fragmentation, a process where biotopes are separated into different parts by a creation of a barrier, is a key issue of landscape ecology nowadays. Separated landscape patches gradually lose their potential to fulfil their original function. There is general effort to develop universal model or set of indicators for fragmentation measurement. In the CR we carried out research project “Integration of landscape fragmentation issue into the decision-making processes” leading by the Ministry of by the M...
