Connectivity

, or the ease with which a

promotes or hinders movement between resources or habitats, is an important feature of land management for species and community protection.

Connectivity

has an impact on demography, encourages dispersal and colonization, preserves genetic variety, improves a species' ability to adjust to disturbances and changing climates, and promotes long-term persistence in varied settings.

As a result
