Scientists: wildlife corridors benefit plant biodiversity, native plants
05.09.2006
Wildlife corridors appear to support not only wildlife but also plants 
.especially the oft-threatened native variety.

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. The 
results suggest that corridors are an important tool not only for 
preserving wildlife but also for supporting and encouraging plant 
biodiversity.
