National State of the Art reports
The National State of the Art Reports on Habitat Fragmentation due to Linear Transportation Infrastructure contain:
- habitat fragmentation and infrastructure:
- effects on nature
- overview of environmental bottlenecks/maps
- current situation regarding solutions
- overview of mitigation/ compensation measures
- evaluation / effectiveness
- legislative framework
- on-going research
- review of relevant case studies and projects
- identification of research areas and recommendations
- directory of institutions and organisations involved
- bibliography.
In the first stage, the research was carried out by each participating country separately. It was desirable that each country be represented by institutions from both sectors, transportation and environment, in order to improve the quality of the survey. In the second stage, the information given by the national overviews was analysed and compiled in order to produce a single European report.
In some national reports you won't find the introductionary chapters concerning 'key ecological concepts' and 'effects of infrastructure on nature' (chapter 2 and 3). For that reason you can separately open these chapters by clicking on Introduction chapters
