The Connecteur Image Archive was composed for the Connecteur competition “(Dis)connections matter!” in 2016. The image collections show the importance of linkages, connections or – the other extreme – barriers and hurdles of any part of natural or artificial landscapes, above or below ground in regard to matter, energy or animal fluxes or connected and fragmented spatial patterns.
The copyrights of the images lay solely with the image owners as given after each image. For any display, the name and affiliation of the image owner must be stated and the owners of the image must be asked for their permission if their image is to be used for any scientific publications.
