The forest fragment classic

Nature, 1998
Twenty years ago a unique ecological experiment was set up, to monitor the effects of a rapid influx of people into one of the most sparsely populated areas in the world — the Amazon. Scientists have now met in Manau, Brazil, to discuss the results of this experiment.

Strengthened insectivory in a temperate fragmented forest

Oecologia, 2006
Habitat fragmentation modifies ecological patterns and processes through changes in species richness and abundance. In the coastal Maulino forest, central Chile, both species richness and abundance of insectivorous birds increases in forest fragments compared to continuous forest.

The fragmented Atlantic rain forest of Brazil: size, shape and distribution of forest fragments

Biodiversity & Conservation, 1998
The geographical characteristics of a total of 1839 forest fragments surrounded by sugar cane fields were studied in the Brazilian Atlantic rain forest region of the northeastern state of Pernambuco. The size and shape of the fragments as well as inter-fragment distances and the effects of varying edge width were examined using a geographical ...

Forest fragmentation, synergisms and the impoverishment of neotropical forests

Biodiversity & Conservation, 2004
It is well documented that the negative effects of habitat fragmentation are strong enough to promote local as well as regional extinction of canopy and emergent trees in neotropical forests. However, forest fragmentation does not occur alone, but is always associated with other human-induced threats to trees, such as logging, forest burning and ...

Forest Fragmentation: Implications for Sustainable Private Forests

Journal of Forestry, 2000
Abstract The long-term trend for private forests in the United States is that of more people owning smaller pieces of wooded land for amenity values. This trend shows no sign of slowing, and indications are that it may be speeding up. The fragmenting of forests into smaller pieces appears to be driven by powerful social and demographic ...

Fragmented forest federalism

2015
This book provides a comparative analysis of the various approaches to environmental federalism and a consideration of what each system might learn from the others. Each chapter focuses on a different regime, and together they offer a broad overview of the field as well as original theory and policy analysis that is sure to meaningfully contribute to ...

Forest fragmentation and birds in Gascogne

2003
Depuis plus de 20 ans, l'INRA étudie les facteurs qui peuvent expliquer la diversité des passereaux dans les coteaux de Gascogne, notamment sous l'influence de la fragmentation forestière. Nous avons constitué une base de données de plus de 4000 points d'écoute géoréférencés grâce à divers dispositifs, soit en grille de 780 points sur le canton d ...
