Ecology rectangular corridor area ledger calculator

Calculate union area by supplied habitat class and total corridor union area with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use union area by supplied habitat class and total corridor union area to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Try the starting example

Corridor rectangles [class ID,west,south,east,north]
[["forest",0,0,10,2],["forest",5,0,15,2],["grass",20,0,25,2]]
Union area by supplied habitat class
[["forest",30],["grass",10]]
Total corridor union area
40
Cross-class overlap (area units)
0

Try another scenario

Corridor rectangles [class ID,west,south,east,north]
[["forest",0,0,10,3],["forest",5,0,15,3],["grass",20,0,25,3]]
Union area by supplied habitat class
[["forest",45],["grass",15]]
Total corridor union area

Calculation method

Calculation method

Union area by supplied habitat class

Union axis-aligned rectangles separately by class.

Total corridor union area

Union all corridor rectangles without double counting.

Cross-class overlap (area units)

Sum per-class union areas minus total union; requires habitat classification review.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Planar axis-aligned rectangular habitat-corridor polygons. Exact rectangle unions, including overlap. Irregular polygon clipping is outside supported geometry. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification.
