Table 1. Basic features of the four habitat patch networks selected within the study region for scenario analysis (Fig. 1).
Patch network | Number of patches | % occupied patches | Connectivity (%)* | Mean patch carrying capacity (ind.) | Mean patch area (ha) |
Ballooƫrveld | 7 | 0.71 | 0.24 | 52 | 0.780 |
Delleburen | 9 | 0.33 | 0.16 | 26 | 0.599 |
Drents-Friese Wold | 17 | 0.35 | 0.35 | 31 | 0.516 |
Dwingeloo | 9 | 0.78 | 3.01 | 144 | 2.203 |
Connectivity was calculated by dividing the suitable area (sum of the area of all patches) by the total area of the network (delineation of the minimum convex polygon around all the network patches).
