Description:
Given the amount and configuration of natural pixels available to connect within the analysis window, this map shows how much flow would be expected in the absence of barriers, which we term regional flow potential. The dataset was produced by running OmniScape with the original source-weight dataset and a null resistance surface with all cells assigned the lowest resistance of 1. Pixels surrounded by highly natural areas have the most natural land to connect within the search radius, and thus the highest flow potential.
