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 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

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.

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

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

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
