Forest fragmentation in the Brazilian Amazon: Trends and conservation strategies

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation
Tropical forests have experienced increasing fragmentation. The trajectory of forest fragmentation (sequence, permanence, and location) offers valuable insights for shaping environmental strategies.

Forest-climate interactions in fragmented tropical landscapes [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004
In the tropics, habitat fragmentation alters forest–climate interactions in diverse ways. On a local scale (less than 1 km), elevated desiccation and wind disturbance near fragment margins lead to sharply increased tree mortality, thus altering canopy–gap dynamics, plant community composition, biomass dynamics and carbon storage. Fragmented forests are

Reforestation-induced changes of landscape composition and configuration modulate freshwater supply and flooding risk of tropical watersheds.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Impact of changes in land cover and land use on hydrological service of tropical watersheds is one of the focal research tropics in both hydrology and Land Cover Land Use Changes (LCLUC).

Echolocation and Stratum Preference: Key Trait Correlates of Vulnerability of Insectivorous Bats to Tropical Forest Fragmentation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Habitat loss and fragmentation rank high amongst the most pressing threats to biodiversity. Understanding how variation in functional traits is associated with species vulnerability in fragmented landscapes is central to the design of effective ...

Multi-scale analysis reveals the differential impacts of forest loss and fragmentation on mammal species in Southwest China and their conservation implications

Global Ecology and Conservation
Global land-use changes have driven forest loss and fragmentation, resulting in a drastic decline in biodiversity levels. Understanding how biological communities respond to anthropogenic landscapes is crucial for developing optimal spatial strategies ...

Forest habitat loss and fragmentation in Central Poland during the last 100 years

Silva Fennica, 2010
The process of habitat fragmentation consists of two components – habitat loss and fragmentation per se. Both are thought to be among the most important threats to biodiversity.

Does forest loss and fragmentation reduce woodpecker-associated ecosystem functions?

Global Ecology and Conservation
Around the world, land-use change caused by human-activity threatens biodiversity, which often results in forest loss and fragmentation, and the loss of forest biodiversity.

Relationships between amount and configuration indicators in real-world landscapes: Novel references for the assessment of forest cover in the Iberian Peninsula

Ecological Indicators
Understanding the role of habitat loss and fragmentation per se is crucial to generate relevant knowledge for habitat management. In the case of forest species, this can be achieved by measuring forest amount and configuration metrics at the landscape ...
