Scientists: wildlife corridors benefit plant biodiversity, native plants

A six-year study at the world’s largest experimental landscape devoted to the corridors — links between otherwise isolated natural areas — has found that more plant species, and specifically more native plant species, persist in areas connected by the corridors than in isolated areas.

Landscape Corridors Provide Pathway For Seed Dispersal; Birds Help Habitats Maintain Diversity: ScienceDaily (Jul. 7, 2005) — Wildlife corridors--clear tracts of land intended to help maintain biodiversity by allowing animals to move between otherwise isolated natural areas--may also aid stationary plants in the same way. A study at an outdoor experimental landscape in S.C., has found that berry eating bluebirds transfer more of the plants' seeds between habitats connected by corridors than between those that are unconnected.
