Boundary characteristics
More boundary length
- enhances
edge species
Less
boundary length
- decreases edge area and non native species
If the boundary
is convoluted
- fewer
species move along boundary
- more
cross boundary between habitats
- erosion along boundary is less
If the boundary
is relatively straight
- more
animals move along boundary
- fewer
cross it
- erosion
increases (Forman,
1995)
