PANDORA model assesses the landscape connectivity 
in terms of bio-energy exchanges 
among defined Bio-Energy Landscape Units. 

The model was developed to meet the needs of planners 
and practitioners involved in the environmental assessment 
procedure and it was proposed as an operative decision 
support system to assess the impact 
of different scenarios of land use change. 

Moreover, this plugin (PANDORA 3.0) allows 
the selected patches to be evaluated in terms of 
Ecosystems Services for Biodiversity conservation 
considering both habitat type (as defined by information 
derived from Land use/land cover maps) and 
Bio-Energy Landscape Connectivity.
