Analysis of Tropical Forest Landscape Fragmentation in Batang Toru Watershed, North Sumatra
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.

Orchestrating Forest Policy in Italy: Mission Impossible? [PDF]
In the Italian political and economic agenda the forest sector occupies a marginal role. The forest sector in Italy is characterized by a high institutional fragmentation and centralized decision-making processes dominated by Public Forest ...

Fragmentation of Random Trees [PDF]
We study fragmentation of a random recursive tree into a forest by repeated removal of nodes. The initial tree consists of N nodes and it is generated by sequential addition of nodes with each new node attaching to a randomly-selected existing node.

Parks, people and pixels: evaluating landscape effects of an East African national park on its surroundings [PDF]
Landscapes surrounding protected areas, while still containing considerable biodiversity, have rapidly growing human populations and associated agricultural development in most of the developing world that tend to isolate them, potentially reducing their

Marked decline in forest-dependent small mammals following habitat loss and fragmentation in an Amazonian deforestation frontier [PDF]
Agricultural frontier expansion into the Amazon over the last four decades has created million hectares of fragmented forests. While many species undergo local extinctions within remaining forest patches, this may be compensated by native species from ...

Brazil’s fragmented forests [PDF]
Summary One of the largest and longest-running biological experiments shows how habitat fragmentation damages the Amazonian forests. Meanwhile, recent political troubles in Brazil may open the path for more unbridled deforestation. Michael Gross reports.

Effects of local tree diversity on herbivore communities diminish with increasing forest fragmentation on the landscape scale. [PDF]
Forest fragmentation and plant diversity have been shown to play a crucial role for herbivorous insects (herbivores, hereafter). In turn, herbivory-induced leaf area loss is known to have direct implications for plant growth and reproduction as well as ...

Effects of Pleistocene climate changes on species ranges and evolutionary processes in the Neotropical Atlantic Forest [PDF]
The effects of global glaciations on the distribution of organisms is an essential element of many diversification models. However, the empirical evidence supporting this idea is mixed, in particular with respect to explaining tropical forest evolution ...

How Three Decades of Forestation Has Impacted Forest Fragmentation in Southern China
Forest cover dynamics are studied on a routine basis, but how changes in forest cover impact forest fragmentation has rarely been studied over a long time period resolution.
