Assess long-term ecological change, species diversity, and vegetation architecture to determine how these affect the ability of any area to be an effective biological corridor. Data on species composition and structure will be incorporated into a landscape-scale predictive model by integrating detailed biological surveys with high-resolution satellite images since 1975.

Strategic Direction: 4 Establish a small grants program (all eligible sites) that focuses on Critically Endangered species and small-scale efforts to increase connectivity of biologically important habitat patches
