How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Target Species Home Range (km²) — use published telemetry data for your focal species.
- Input Corridor Length (km) between the two habitat patches to be connected.
- Select Movement Type (daily movement, dispersal, or migration) to set minimum width standards.
- Set Edge Effect Depth (meters) — the penetration of edge influence reduces effective interior habitat width.
- Enter Habitat Quality (%) within the proposed corridor to assess functional connectivity.
- Review Recommended Corridor Width (km) and Minimum Width to guide land acquisition and restoration planning.
