Pinch points are identified to prioritize important areas for connectivity conservation at local scale (McRae, 2012). The highlighted pinch points are showing constraints of current flow on the best corridor and shows “both, the most efficient movement pathways and critical pinch points within them” (ibid.). For spatial and landscape planning it is useful to focus on the pinch points, (i.e. bottlenecks on the least-cost-paths) and prioritize them over areas that are more open and therefore less crucial for connectivity conservation. |
