powerline corridor


Explanation:
Also written power line corridor
This is a very commonly used expression which seems to have currency internationally:

Australia: http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/WR05085
Canada: http://www.fpb.gov.bc.ca/publications.aspx?id=3270&__taxonom...
United Kingdom: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1671212 (shows picture of powerline corridor)
United States: http://www.vacadsci.org/vjsArchives/v48/48-4/p259.pdf

Example sentence(s):
  • Management of powerline corridors in Australia has traditionally focused on the complete removal of vegetation using short rotation times owing to the perceived hazard of fire associated with corridor vegetation. CSIRO, AU
  • Significant Breaches of the Forest Practices Code along the Power Line Corridor for the Kemess South Mine in the Mackenzie Forest District. Forest Practices Board, BC, CA
