COHNECS-IT is a project undertaken by the French Natural History Museum (MNHN). More precisely, the project is steered by the Natural Heritage Service (SPN), with a scientific support of the Center of Ecology and COnservation Sciences (CESCO), both institutions being part of the French Natural History Museum.

In response to a call for applications of the CILB-ITTECOP-FRB
COHNECS-IT was developed in response to a call for projects on the role of linear transport infrastructures for biodiversity, launched in 2014, by the Linear Infrastructures and Biodiversity Club (CILB), the French Ministry of ecology, sustainable development and energy (MEDDE) and the Foundation for Research on Biodiversity […]
On the role of linear transport infrastructures for biodiversity
COHNECS-IT is the acronym for “longitudinal COnnectivity and Habitat potential of green verges depending on their Nature, spEcies and the Context: a Systematic review on Transport Infrastructures”. The question asked here is whether linear transport infrastructures, considered longitudinally, can have a role of ecological corridor or habitat […]
Problématique
Les Infrastructures linéaires de transport (ILT) constituent une des sources principales de fragmentation des habitats naturels. Prises transversalement, elles occasionnent en effet des coupures dans le paysage pouvant interrompre les flux d’individus et représenter des discontinuités physiques ou chimiques (eau, sols, pollutions, etc.). Cet effet fragmentant est […]
