Terrestrial Connectivity Indicator

The terrestrial connectivity indicator addresses the ability for terrestrial organisms to migrate and disperse in both longitudinal (upstream/downstream) and lateral (between the channel and riparian zone, between riparian zone and upland areas) directions. This indicator considers habitat fragmentation, including barriers created by roads, railroads, trails, bridges, fence lines, etc.
