Abstract
Complex network analysis is being applied on topological models of ecological networks, to extrapolate their advanced properties and as part of the activity of land management. Commonly employed methods tend to focus on single target species. This is satisfactory for cognitive analysis, but the limited view provided by these models results in a lack of general information needed for land planning. Similarity scores computed for pairs of nature protection areas are proposed as a building block of a general model to address this shortcoming.
