Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Paul Cawood Hellmund and Daniel Smith -- 1. Introduction: Greenway Functions, Design, and History -- Paul Cawood Hellmund and Daniel Smith -- Greenways and landscape integrity: An overview Landscape problems and greenway opportunities A strategic greenway design approach Greenways and sustainable design: the significance of scale and equity Greenways have evolved from earlier linear conservation and transportation corridors. -- Greenway examples -- 2. Greenway Ecology and the Integrity of Landscapes: An Illustrated Primer -- Paul Cawood Hellmund -- Bringing together diverse perspectives. -- A willingness to communicate beyond narrow limits Explicitly spatial landscape ecology a boon to greenway design Landscape ecology as an inclusive perspective Supplemental sources Taking the broader view An illustrated primer Landscape elements: patches, corridors, matrix Landscape structure is comprised of composition, configuration, and connectivity.

Text of Note

The ways landscape elements originate and function Not all species use the landscape in the same way. -- Landscape connectivity is a fundamental concept for greenway design. -- Corridors, gaps, and stepping stones Patches -- Matrix -- Boundaries and the edge effect Landscape structure and function influence each other Some disturbances occur naturally and change is inevitable The impacts of people form a gradient across the landscape. -- Island biogeography Understanding spatial scale is crucial. -- Broader time scales are important, too. -- Guiding a fragmenting landscape toward connectivity Is spatial pattern always crucial? -- 3. Greenways as Corridors for Maintaining and Enhancing Wildlife Movement -- Reed Noss -- Wildlife movement and the role for corridors Corridors as habitat. -- Corridors in daily and seasonal wildlife movements Corridors and other landscape elements in dispersal The Role of Dispersal Corridors in Population Persistence.

Text of Note

Annotation Designing Greenways is a key to protecting landscapes, allowing wildlife to move freely, and finding appropriate ways to bring people into nature. This book brings together examples from ecology, conservation biology, aquatic ecology, and recreation design to illustrate how greenways function and add value to ecosystems and human communities alike.
