LandScape Corridors

Welcome to the LSCorridors wiki!

LandScape Corridors (LSCorridors) is a free and open source package developed in Python that simulates multiple functional ecological corridors. It uses a resistance surface map 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 package also includes stochasticity at different levels and enables different simulation methods. The software runs in a GRASS GIS environment (currently, GRASS 7.0.x).

The package runs in Ubuntu Linux (version 12.04 or later) and Windows (XP, 7, 8) platforms, but improvements for MacOS will also be made available soon.

You can also find information about LSCOrridos here. LSCorridors was developed and is maintained by the Spatial Ecology and Conservation Lab (LEEC), at Universidade Estadual Paulista, Rio Claro, SP, Brazil.
