a band of vegetation, usually older forest, which serves to connect distinct patches on the landscape Connectivity permits the movement of plant and animal species between what would otherwise be isolated patches
a band of vegetation, usually older forest, which serves to connect distinct patches on the landscape Corridors are part of the Forest Ecosystem Network (FEN) and by providing connectivity, permit the movement of plant and animal species between what would otherwise be isolated patches
A designated strip of land between two locations within which rail, highway and pedestrian traffic, topography, environment and other characteristics are evaluated for transportation purposes
Amount of time (typically plus or minus 200 hours) within which employees' working hours can vary, according to production demand, usually over at least a year Overtime premia are only paid once the time limit is exceeded
Narrow strip of land reserved for location of transmission lines, pipelines, and service roads
Land between two termini within which traffic, transit, land use, topography, environment and other characteristics are evaluated for transportation purposes
a) (Engineering) A strip of land within which traffic, topography, environment and other characteristics are evaluated for transportation purposes (4) b) (Biology) A route that allows movement of organisms across an otherwise inhospitable landscape Corridors may or may not provide all of the habitat characteristics required to support an individual over time, but do provide the habitat characteristics that allow an individual to move between suitable patches of habitat For smaller, less mobile species, corridors may function as strips of habitat that provide for the flow of genetic material between larger patches of habitat over more than one generation (1) See Linkage (Linkage Zone)
A broad geographical band that follows a general directional flow connecting major sources of trips that may contain a number of streets, highways and transit route alignments
(1) In the United States, the required difference between a universal life insurance policy's death benefit and the policy's cash value This difference is a specified percentage that depends on the insured's age If a policy's cash value exceeds the required percentage of the death benefit (that is, intrudes on the corridor), the policy will be considered an investment contract rather than an insurance contract Also called the TEFRA corridor (2) In reinsurance, an amount of insurance which is in excess of the ceding company's retention limit but which is less than the reinsurer's minimum cession The ceding company must usually retain this amount of insurance
