Global forest fragmentation change from 2000 to 2020 [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 A comprehensive quantification of global forest fragmentation is urgently required to guide forest protection, restoration and reforestation policies. Previous efforts focused on the static distribution patterns of forest remnants, potentially neglecting

Ecological restoration programs reduced forest fragmentation by stimulating forest expansion
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Deforestation has led to substantial loss of natural forests worldwide, resulting in forest fragmentation, soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and carbon loss.

Global trends in mangrove forest fragmentation. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractFragmentation is a major driver of ecosystem degradation, reducing the capacity of habitats to provide many important ecosystem services. Mangrove ecosystem services, such as erosion prevention, shoreline protection and mitigation of climate change (through carbon sequestration), depend on the size and arrangement of forest patches, but we know

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

Gamebird responses to anthropogenic forest fragmentation and degradation in a southern Amazonian landscape. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Although large-bodied tropical forest birds are impacted by both habitat loss and fragmentation, their patterns of habitat occupancy will also depend on the degree of forest habitat disturbance, which may interact synergistically or additively with ...

New approach to assess forest fragmentation based on multiscale similarity index
Ecological IndicatorsForest fragmentation is a landscape-level process. After fragmentation, a larger forest area is changed into smaller, mostly isolated, and geometrically complex patches. Proper assessment of forest fragmentation requires addressing key aspects, including
