Site percola,on on la.ces

Fill each square with probability p low p: small isolated islands

p cri*cal: giant component forms,

occupying nite frac,on of innite la.ce. Size of other components is power law distributed

p above cri*cal: giant component

rapidly spreads to span the la.ce Size of other components is O(1)

Percola,on theory
The number & size of la.ces are related to P (probability of a cell being occupied by the target species) P = 0.4 (no percola,on)
49 clusters Largest cluster = 18 cells

P = 0.6 (some percola,on)

17 clusters Largest cluster = 163 cells

P = 0.8 (fully percolated)

1 clusters Largest cluster = 320 cells

From this we can calculate landscape boundaries (total & inner edges) useful for edge eect assessment in conserva,on.

BREAKING UP The ow rate of the Jakobshavn Glacier on the western slope of Greenland has increased recently. The glacier currently moves about 10 km per year and calves a large number of icebergs into Ban Bay.
