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.

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.

Understanding Current and Future Fragmentation Dynamics of Urban Forest Cover in the Nanjing Laoshan Region of Jiangsu, China [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 Accurate acquisition of the spatiotemporal distribution of urban forests and fragmentation (e.g., interior and intact regions) is of great significance to contributing to the mitigation of climate change and the conservation of habitat biodiversity ...

Global-Scale Patterns of Forest Fragmentation [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2000 We report an analysis of forest fragmentation based on 1-km resolution land-cover maps for the globe. Measurements in analysis windows from 81 km 2 (9 x 9 pixels, "small" scale) to 59,049 km 2 (243 x 243 pixels, "large" scale) were used to characterize ...

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 [PDF]
, 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 ...

Tropical Forest Landscape Fragmentation in Batang Toru Watershed, North Sumatra
Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika, 2014 Timber-based forest management is now shifting to as broader scope including ecosystem-based management. Timber-oriented forest management frequently affects the fragmentation of forest landscape.

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.
