Landscape Complementation

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-015363

Changes in population caused by the relative distributions of habitat patches containing nonsubstitutable resources in a landscape. Example: increased populations in a portion of a landscape where foraging patches and roosting patches are adjacent, compared with parts of the landscape where these patches are isolated (Dunning et al. 1992:170-171) (see Landscape supplementation).
