title: 'terralink: Connectivity Corridor Optimization for Raster and Vector Data'
version: 1.7.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.terralink
abstract: Standalone R implementation of TerraLink 1.7 habitat connectivity corridor
  optimization for raster and vector workflows. Supports scenario-based corridor planning
  with budget-constrained optimization, optional impassable areas, packaged parity
  fixtures, and comparative PRE/POST connectivity metrics. The package exposes TerraLink's
  structural, movement-oriented, and species-oriented strategy set in a scriptable
  R workflow that stays aligned with the QGIS plugin while avoiding a desktop GIS
  dependency. Methods and interpretation are informed by Gustafson (1998) <https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/12046>
  and Kupfer (2012) <https://doi.org/10.1177/0309133312439594>.
