ROW Habitat Types

ROW Habitat Types

 

There are several ways to identify and classify rights-of-way (ROW). When making such a distinction, industry personnel evaluate and determine site characteristics, human/activity zones, and land classification types of each ROW. Each ROW classification offers a different focus on habitat, plants, and animals — including pollinators that utilize the habitat. In this webinar, ACRT Services Director of Research Science, and Innovation Anand Persad discusses how BIOaudit™, a comprehensive solution that analyzes environmental aspects in ROWs and other green spaces — can help understand the variety of habitat types that exist near ROWs.
