Corridor Mapping
Visualize how your balcony mix contributes to urban pollinator pathways
Urban Ecosystem Integration
Your balcony seed mix becomes part of a larger network supporting local pollinator populations
Each balcony garden equipped with a wildflower seed mix functions as a node in an urban pollinator network. The visualization above represents how these nodes connect to form continuous corridors enabling bee and butterfly movement through metropolitan environments.
Biological Impact Assessment
Species Support Range
Your seed mix composition determines which pollinator species can access nectar and pollen resources. High-diversity mixes support broader species ranges.
Seasonal Continuity
Sequenced bloom periods ensure food availability across multiple months, reducing gaps in pollinator nutrition during critical life cycle stages.
Corridor Connectivity
Each balcony contributes to network resilience by providing alternative pathways when primary routes face environmental challenges or habitat loss.
Impact Metrics Calculation
The Bio-Impact Score quantifies your seed mix's contribution to local pollinator support systems. This score considers flower density, nectar production estimates, pollen availability, and bloom duration to provide a comprehensive assessment.
(Flower Density × Bloom Duration) + (Nectar Index × Pollen Diversity) = Total Impact Score
Your Mix Rating: Calculated dynamically based on selected species composition
Urban Pollinator Support Mission
Balcony gardens serve as critical refuges for urban pollinators facing habitat fragmentation. By selecting appropriate wildflower species, you contribute to maintaining biodiversity within metropolitan ecosystems.
The collective impact of individual balcony gardens creates substantial habitat corridors, supporting pollinator populations and enhancing urban ecosystem resilience.
