EC-M-1.1 v1.0.0 Beta

Landscape Connectivity LC

Functional connectivity of a parcel to surrounding intact ecosystems, normalised by biome.

The C1 dimension of SEEA-EA, expressed as a parcel-level score. Captures whether a parcel is part of a connected landscape mosaic or is functionally isolated — a key input for restoration prioritisation and for Threat Multiplier.

Twelve-month sample series

A representative parcel under EC-M-1.1, July 2025 through June 2026. The line is the published value at each monthly vintage; the band is the 95% confidence interval. Past vintages are immutable — this same chart, queried in 2040, returns the same values.

How to query

The signal is queried at the canonical /v1/signals/{id} endpoint. Required parameters are a location and an as-of date. The same query replayed in 2040 returns the same value.

curl https://api.earth-signals.com/v1/signals/landscape-connectivity \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer es_preview_..." \
  -d "lat=44.4654" \
  -d "lng=-72.6874" \
  -d "as_of=2026-04-30"

Endpoint and tokens shown for spec illustration. The Earth Signals API is in private beta with named design partners; the underlying Earth API and Calculator API are live.

The full parameter table — point query, parcel id, polygon aggregation, methodology pinning — is in the API reference.
