Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2010, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper analyses landscape representativeness within the ecological corridor network linking Natura 2000 areas in Poland. The criteria used to designate the network did not include landscape representativeness. Nevertheless, the selection of areas covered by the network was found to be adequate to preserve landscape diversity in Poland. The selected areas include the most valuable parts of various landscape types.
