Remnant Corridors
Remnant corridors are the
most obvious products of
disturbance to the adjacent
matrix (Figure 3-3). Strips
of vegetation on sites too
steep, rocky, or wet to put
into production are left as
remnants after land is
cleared for agriculture or
other uses. Some remnants are line corridors left to
identify property boundaries. The width and
configuration of most remnant corridors vary
considerably. Remnant corridors often contain the
last assemblages of native flora and fauna in a
watershed.
