Welcome to the LS_CORRIDORS wiki!

LandScape Corridors

LSCorridors is a free and open source package developed in Python that simulates multiples functional ecological corridors. It uses a surface of resistance to organismal movement to generate multiple corridors between multiple source-target locations inside the map. To accomplish that, it uses species habitat requirement information and a least-cost path algorithm. The software runs in a GRASS GIS environment.

LSCorridors was developed and is maintained by the Spatial Ecology and Conservation Lab, at Universidade Estadual Paulista, Rio Claro, SP, Brazil.
