Summary

This dataset maps the connectivity and bottlenecks among protected areas within a six km ribbon along the terrestrial coastline of the U.S. Great Lakes. Each pixel represents the relative contribution that cell provides to connectivity between and among the protected areas. When aggregated the pixel values produce a map of all possible pathways between protected areas, providing the end user with an understanding of each pathway's potential to facilitate or impede species movement. The relative contribution values are determined using the National Land Cover Dataset, where each land use pixel is converted into a value representing its resistance to movement. That is, how easy or difficult movement through that land use type would be [...]
