Abstract
Abstract The permeability of line barriers in the landscape is often a prerequisite for the survival of the wide spectrum of native species. The aim of this study is to create a methodology for assessing the attractiveness of wildlife underpasses used by animals during migrations, translocations or as a habitat. Understanding the relationship between the parameters of underpasses in the broader landscape-ecological context and their attractiveness for animals is a key aspect in spatial planning and the construction of new linear transport structures, which will significantly help mitigate the barrier effect and isolation of animal populations. The attractiveness assessment is based on the evaluation of the underpass individual parameters and its surroundings through the 8 sub-indexes (openness, substrate, anthropogenic, vegetation, landscape structure elements, ecological networks, potential and real migration/habitat).
期刊介绍：
The Journal Ecology (Bratislava) places the main emphasis on papers dealing with complex characteristics of ecosystems. Treated are not only general, theoretical and methodological but also particular practical problems of landscape preservation and planning. The ecological problems of the biosphere are divided into four topics: ecology of populations: study of plant and animal populations as basic components of ecosystems, ecosystem studies: structure, processes, dynamics and functioning of ecosystems and their mathematical modelling, landscape ecology: theoretical and methodical aspects, complex ecological investigation of territorial entities and ecological optimization of landscape utilization,
