MitiConnect EN

Presentation

MitiConnect is a QGIS 3 plugin to assess ecological connectivity in mitigation herarchy. MitiConnect uses resistance surfaces and landscape graphs to assess ecological connectivity at a given state. It provides an all-in-one tool with a dedicated GUI allowing user to define target species, resistance values, mitigation scenarios, ect., and then calls QGIS or Graphab functionalities to compute each step.

The tool was developed by INRAE as part of the Green and blue infrastructure Resource center.

MitiConnect has been designed as a 6-steps plugin from raw data preprocessing to landscape graphs comparison. Parameters settings can be saved to and loaded from a configuration file.

MitiConnect Steps

  1. Définition des paramètres généraux
  2. Import et uniformisation des données
  3. Définition des espèces cibles
  4. Définition des coefficients de friction
  5. Définition des scenarios
  6. Gestion des lancements

         6.1. Occupation du sol
         6.2. Couche de friction
         6.3. Projet Graphab
         6.4. Jeu de liens
         6.5. Graphe paysager
         6.6. Aires de dispersion
         6.7. Hiérarchisation des enjeux (métriques locales)
         6.8. Comparaison des scénarios (métriques globales)

Chaque étape est détaillée dans le panneau d'aide.
