Landscape characteristics. A) The 10*10 km basic landscape used in the simulations, representing an existing area in central Jylland, Denmark, centred around 56°22'N, 9°40'E. The polygons represent landscape structures, i.e. forests, fields, watercourses, build-up areas etc. The resolution is 1 m, enabling the inclusion of narrow landscape structure such as road verges, potentially important for vole distribution. B) Superimposed on the basic landscape, is the size and position (in red) of the areas of optimal vole habitat in each of the five levels of landscape fragmentation. The total area of optimal habitat is unchanged (1.5%) between fragmentation levels.
