Forest fragmentation.

open access: yes, 2000
AbstractForest fragmentation is a pervasive threat to forest ecosystems throughout the world. Reduced overall numbers of individuals, decline in mean population sizes and the separation of forest remnants by non-forest land can affect the main genetic processes of genetic drift, gene flow, selection and mating.

Global patterns of tropical forest fragmentation

Nature, 2018
Remote sensing enables the quantification of tropical deforestation with high spatial resolution. This in-depth mapping has led to substantial advances in the analysis of continent-wide fragmentation of tropical forests. Here we identified approximately 130 million forest fragments in three continents that show surprisingly similar power-law size and ...

The Paradox of Forest Fragmentation Genetics

Conservation Biology, 2008
Abstract:  Theory predicts widespread loss of genetic diversity from drift and inbreeding in trees subjected to habitat fragmentation, yet empirical support of this theory is scarce. We argue that population genetics theory may be misapplied in light of ecological realities that, when recognized, require ...

Forest Fragments and Fragmentation

Forest fragmentation is the process of splitting large, continuous areas of forest into increasingly small and separate patches. This process typically reduces both the area of continuous forest and creates fragments that can become isolated and impacted by the surrounding environment. Key drivers of forest fragmentation include agricultural expansion,

Climbers in forest fragments in Togo.

2005
AbstractTogo is located in the Dahomey Gap which separates the West African tropical moist forest from that of Central Africa. Farmland, fallow lands and savannahs essentially characterize the predominantly open landscape. In forest fragments in southern Togo, climbing plants represent one third of the total number of species.
