Managing human footprint to achieve large-landscape conservation outcomes: Establishing density limits on motorized route-user networks in Alberta’s Eastern Slopes

The relationships between human footprint and measurable impacts to biodiversity and ecosystems are complex. Also problematic is the hesitancy to derive threshold-based management tools from the scientific literature. Road ecology points to road densities as a useful surrogate for human footprint, a...
