Do Linear Transport Infrastructures provide a potential corridor for urban biodiversity? Case study in Greater Paris, France

Recent studies have emphasised the increasing impact, both negative and positive, of Linear Transport Infrastructures (LTIs) on biodiversity. A significant body of scientific and technical knowledge is more and more available to help guide restoration practices concerning especially urban areas. Thi...
