Global forest fragmentation [PDF]

, 2014
Forest fragmentation will inevitably continue over the coming years, especially in developing economies. This book provides a cutting edge review of the multi-disciplinary sciences related to studies of global forest fragmentation. It specifically addresses cross-cutting themes from both an ecological and a social sciences perspective.

Forest birds in forest fragments: are fragmentation effects independent of season? [PDF]

Bird Study, 1999
The aim of this study was to examine whether effects of habitat fragmentation on forest birds persist across seasons. W e noted the presence or absence of 18 bird species in 16 wood plots on 12 occasions (six in winter and six in spring). Woodland area ranged between 0.5 and 200 ha. All patches consisted of mature deciduous woodland.

Increasing signs of forest fragmentation in the Cross River National Park in Nigeria: Underlying drivers and need for sustainable responses

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Protected areas are expectedly intact habitats for biodiversity and key for ecosystem conservation. However, where inadequately protected, human-induced forest fragmentation can degrade them and reduce their functioning.

Forest fragmentation and selective logging have inconsistent effects on multiple animal-mediated ecosystem processes in a tropical forest [PDF]

, 2011
Forest fragmentation and selective logging are two main drivers of global environmental change and modify biodiversity and environmental conditions in many tropical forests.

Detecting Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Driving Patterns in Forest Fragmentation with a Forest Fragmentation Comprehensive Index (FFCI): Taking an Area with Active Forest Cover Change as a Case Study

, 2023
Forests play an irreplaceable role in preserving soil and water, as well as realizing carbon neutrality. However, logging and urban expansion have caused widespread forest fragmentation globally, resulting in biodiversity loss and carbon emissions ...
