“…In response to the fragmentation of natural and seminatural habitats, steps have been made in recent years to identify the impacts of fragmentation and formulate strategies to halt population declines and potential extirpation or even extinction. As a consequence, the restoration of functional habitat networks has become an important goal, and the understanding of colonization dynamics and processes is a critical component of those efforts (Jongman & Pungetti 2004). The cost of habitat restoration—recreation and maintenance of suitable environmental conditions (Bakker et al 1996)—can be borne by society only if the true success of colonization can be evaluated in terms of potential new species in target communities.…”

“…Those studies highlighted that the probability for a species to establish depends on its presence in the local or regional species pool and on environmental filters such as landscape structure, biotic interactions (e.g., presence of dispersal agents), the ability of newly arrived seeds to germinate, and the longevity of the soil seed bank (as reviewed by Bakker & Berendse 1999). A methodology that aims to quantitatively evaluate the success of colonization, in an explicit spatial context, would be especially relevant to activities associated with the restoration of ecological networks (Jongman & Pungetti 2004).…”

Although human-driven landscape modification is generally characterized by habitat destruction and fragmentation, it may also result in the creation of new habitat patches, providing conditions conducive to spontaneous colonization. In this article, we propose the concept of "colonization credit" (i.e., the number of species yet to colonize a patch, following landscape changes) as a framework to evaluate the success of colonization, in terms of species richness, in new/restored habitats, taking into account the spatial structure of landscapes. The method mirrors similar approaches used to estimate extinction debt in the context of habitat fragmentation, that is, comparisons, between old and new habitat patches, of the relationships among spatial patch metrics and patch species richness. We applied our method to the case of spontaneous colonization of newly created habitat patches suitable for wet heathland plant communities in South Belgium. Colonization credit was estimated for the total species richness, the specialist species richness, and the species richness of three emergent groups (EGs) of specialist species, delineated on the basis of dispersal traits. No significant colonization credit was identified either in patches created 25-55 years ago or in those created within the past 25 years, with the exception of species from our first EG (mostly anemochorous species with long-term persistent seed bank). However, the differential response of species in that first EG could not be explained through their characteristic life history traits. The results of this study are encouraging and suggest that deliberate, directed restoration activities could yield positive developments in a relatively short period of time.

“…The versatility of GI lies in its synergies between a series of established green space antecedents such as greenways (Little, 1990), the Garden Cities movement (Howard, 2009) and landscape ecology (Jongman & Pungetti, 2004), the key principles of the concept, and the developing consensus between academics, practitioners, delivery agents and policy-makers, each of which has positioned GI as an integrated and cost-effective approach to urban and landscape planning. Although there is a clear line of argument, as discussed by Mell (2010), illustrating how these factors have generated an overarching acknowledgement of what GI is, what it should do, and how it should do it, we can go further and identify three periods of GI development: Exploration (1998Exploration ( 3 -2008, Expansion (post-2008) and Consolidation (2010-2012.…”

“…The protected natural areas and other areas important from the ecological point of view create the nature frame as an ecological compensation network. Lithuanian concept of nature frame (Kavaliauskas 1995;2007) has some significant differences from pan-European concept of ecological networks or American greenways (Jongman and Pungetti 2004) and presents a more integral spatial structure without confining strictly the interests of biological protection. The nature frame really enables us to regulate the urban and industrial development.…”

A concept of sustainable development is a critical key for regional planning. The article deals with the methodology of sustainable land use system adopted in the documents of regional space planning in Lithuania. The structure of the concept includes determination of problem areas, formation of integrated spatial framework with localised functional priorities and regional regimes and organisation of spatial regional policy. The main spatial axes ‐ urban and nature frames, as well as recreation or conservation belts are the integrated components of sustainable spatial structure of a region. Regional policy making could be organised by constructive, conservative and temperate scenarios, what is the prerogative of regional officials. Santrauka Rengiant šiuolaikinius regioninius teritorijų planus tvaraus vystymo koncepcija pamažu įgauna esminės metodologinės nuostatos vaidmenį. Pagrindinę problemą sudaro visuotinai pripažintų, tačiau gana prieštaringų tvaraus (tausojančio ir subalansuoto) vystymo tikslų realizavimas erdviniuose regionų planuose. Ypač tvaraus vystymo idėjai taikyti trukdo nacionaliniu ir regioniniu lygmenimis išlikęs tradicinio šakinio (sektorinio), o ne integruoto sisteminio mąstymo vyravimas bei daugelio šalių teritorijų planavimui didelę reikšmę daranti strateginio (vadybinio) planavimo metodologija. Lietuvoje, remiantis naujausiu teritorijų planavimo reglamentavimu, stengiamasi įveikti minėtus trūkumus ir sukurti savitą regionų planavimo sistemą, turinčią panašumų į egzistuojančią Suomijoje. Pagrindinės planavimo nuostatos išreiškiamos regionų vystymo koncepcijoje, kurios metodologija apima probleminių arealų išaiškinimą, bendrosios funkcinės erdvinės struktūros nustatymą, funkcinių prioritetų, regioninių teritorijos tvarkymo reglamentų parengimą bei erdvinės regioninės politikos organizavimą. Kuriamos erdvinės struktūros tvarumą teritorijų harmoningos plėtros kontekste užtikrina tinkamas svarbiausių erdvinių ašių – urbanistinio ir gamtinio karkaso – santykių nustatymas, taip pat regionų bioprodukcinio, rekreacinio bei konservacinio vystymo strategijų subalansuotas lokalizavimas. Regioninė teritorijų planavimo politika formuojama pagal tris strateginius scenarijus: konstruktyvųjį, konservatyvųjį ir nuosaikųjį, kurių elementų pasirinkimas yra regionų valdžios prioritetas.
