LRVA-2025: Current version of the integral dataset on habitat connectivity in Austria. This dataset takes into account all datasets and designations of habitat corridors from scientific projects and public sector projects (federal provinces). The dataset has been evaluated by the experts of the Cooridnation Platform "Habitat Connectivity Austria" and is updated as soon as new information and designations from projects are available. Further details are available in the endreport: https://docs.umweltbundesamt.at/s/AzZrHid6q9wkDDM As part of the update, the underlying data model was adapted. It is now possible to track all changes made during the update. All updated and valid habitat corridors can be obtained by selecting all edges that have the value “true” in the “valid” data set property. All edges with the value “false” are no longer valid. The reasons for the changes are noted in the ‘comment’ data record property. Most of the changes are so-called “technical changes.” As part of these changes, corridors have been adapted accordingly due to errors in the spatial location of existing crossing structures. The reclassification of corridors is due to new planned or adapted locations of wildlife crossing aids along the existing route. Description of the feature properties see feature catalog: https://geonetwork.lebensraumvernetzung.at/geonetwork/srv/ger/catalog.search#/metadata/e8044763-deb8-43d9-9d51-72b891fe5813 Data set download at: https://docs.umweltbundesamt.at/s/ep9JF44TjYxDY54, also includes QGIS project for direct use of the GPKG file. Two visualizations available. - Corridors classified by corridor category (supra-regional | regional | local) (see Quicklook) - Change layer: Current corridors and all outdated/revised corridor sections

The specific designation of supra-regional migration corridors for larger, preferably forest-bound wildlife is intended to ensure, improve and, if necessary, restore the functionality of a statewide biotope and habitat network.

QGIS Modelle für die Berechnung der Bewertung der Lebensraumkorridore in Österreich. in einem Modell ist der Algorithmus für die Segmentierung des Liniengraphen der Lebensraumkorridore in Österreich verfügbar. Im anderen Modell sind die Algorithmen für die Bewertung der Lebensraumkorridorsegmente hinsichtlich der Ausstattung mit Landschaftselementen, der Durchlässigkeit der Landschafsstruktur und der Gesamtindex der Durchlässigkeit der sich aus den beiden erstgenannten zusammensetzt.

The project contributes significantly to a successful and long-term implementa-tion and safeguarding of habitat connectivity in Austria. In addition to the net-working function of habitat corridors, the aspect of how habitat corridors can also be used or adapted for the protection and improvement of insect diversity in Austria was addressed for the first time. Work package 1 is dedicated to the analysis of habitat features and landscape structures with regard to their qualitative (diversity) and quantitative (abun-dance) suitability for insects. The extrapolation of the results of work package 1 implemented in work pack-age 2 provides a first area-wide overview of the structural connectivity of habi-tat corridors in Austria and their suitability for the dispersal and protection of insect diversity. Work package 3 is dedicated to the development of a guideline for assessing the permeability of existing habitat corridors. With the definition of the most important indicators for the assessment of planned measures within the corri-dors, a standardised set of rules for nature conservation assessments is availa-ble for the first time, on which the leading experts in the field of habitat connec-tivity have agreed. Awareness-raising measures are an essential prerequisite for achieving the broadest possible acceptance of habitat connectivity among regional actors (e.g. farmers and landowners). This is the focus of work package 4. For a sustainable protection of the habitat corridors, it is essential to make the habitat corridors visible in an official national document. This issue is addressed in work package 5 by the implementation of a process that allows a widely auto-mated production of specific maps on the topic of habitat connectivity embed-ded in the Austrian forest development plan. A further milestone is the establishment of the “Coordination Platform for Habi-tat Connectivity in Austria” in work package 6, which consists of the most im-portant experts in the field of habitat connectivity in Austria. The objectives of the coordination platform are the regular exchange of experience, a unified and coherent representation of the actors in habitat connectivity and the promotion of the protection of habitat corridors in Austria.

Modeling the course of the Alpen Kaparten corridor. Consists of the four Bottlenecks and additional core zones of wildlife in-betweeen them. Attributes: -101 - primarily core zone, buffered from centerline 250m to each side -102 - primarily border zone, buffered from core zone 150m -201 - secondary core zone, buffered from centerline 250m to each side -202 - secondary border zone, buffered from core zone 150m -112 - primarily, core - and borderzone are together, buffered 400m from the centerline on each side -0 - core zones of wildlife, big forested areas, only rough delineation

LRVA-2022: Evaluation of ecological corridor axes with regard to the permeability of sections of the ecological corridor. On the one hand, the landscape structure is assessed with regard to its permeability (LC structure index) and on the other hand, the landscape elements equipment of the ecological corridor segment (LE equipment index) is considered. The combination of these two indicators results in the combined ecological corridore index, which gives a good overview of ecological corridor areas with low permeability.
