BHSL_corridor_connectivity_v1.0

Data and code supporting the article "Connectivity of natural vegetation in a Cerrado–Pantanal ecological corridor declined nearly twice as fast as habitat area" (submitted to Scientific Reports, collection "Natural vegetation cover dynamics"). Study area: São Lourenço River Basin Ecological Corridor, Mato Grosso, Brazil (766,269 ha). Period: annual, 2014–2024. Land cover: MapBiomas Collection 11 (30 m). Coordinate reference system: SIRGAS 2000 / UTM zone 21S (EPSG:31981). The package contains: (i) the MapBiomas Collection 11 subset analysed (11 annual bands) and the corridor boundary; (ii) annual landscape metrics of natural vegetation and of forest formation (area, number of patches, edge density, core area, effective mesh size); (iii) graph-based connectivity (probability of connectivity and equivalent connected area for dispersal distances of 200, 500, 1500 and 5000 m); (iv) patch importance (dPC and its intra, flux and connector fractions) for 2024; (v) spatial processes of landscape transformation in 5 km cells (Bogaert decision tree); (vi) conversion rates by distance to edge, patch size and formation, and a logistic model; (vii) trend and sensitivity analyses; (viii) GeoTIFF maps of patch morphology, converted vegetation, patch importance and spatial processes; (ix) figures; (x) records of the systematic literature review (PRISMA 2020); and (xi) the Python code that reproduces all results (see README.md).
