Factors affecting crossing structure use by khulan and goitered gazelle in China
Quantifying the utilization of wildlife crossing structures (CSs) requires considering the local population background. This study assessed the effectiveness of 22 CSs based on the abundance of two ungulates (khulan and goitered gazelle) in northwestern China and analyzed variables influencing their usage such as openness, water source, and human activities in drylands. Results showed that there were 7 and 13 CSs with higher performance indices (PRi) for khulan and goitered gazelle, respectively. Khulan favors CSs near water sources and with large openness, while goitered gazelle prefers structures that include ponding and also feature large openness. Factors like distance to the CSs of the railway, predators, and human activities affect the utilization of CSs by goitered gazelle. This study emphasized the importance of designing and managing effective wildlife CSs by focusing on openness and water resources. It is recommended that CSs can be spatially consistent in multiple transportation lines run parallel.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
