Forest fragmentation and selective logging have inconsistent effects on multiple animal-mediated ecosystem processes in a tropical forest [PDF]
Forest fragmentation and selective logging are two main drivers of global environmental change and modify biodiversity and environmental conditions in many tropical forests.

Discerning fragmentation dynamics of tropical forest and wetland during reforestation, urban sprawl, and policy shifts. [PDF]
Despite the overall trend of worldwide deforestation over recent decades, reforestation has also been found and is expected in developing countries undergoing fast urbanization and agriculture abandonment.

Taking a tree’s perspective on forest fragmentation genetics [PDF]
Despite longstanding research, how anthropogenic disturbance affects the genetics of tree populations remains poorly understood. Although empirical evi- dence often conflicts with theoretical expectations, little progress has been made in refining ...

Human-Induced Forest Fragmentation in Trabzon, Eastern Black Sea Region, Türkiye: A Case Study [PDF]
Due to the geographical structure of the Eastern Black Sea Region, agricultural activities are carried out in high-sloped areas that should ideally be used solely for forestry purposes. The region is characterized by an intricate intertwining of forested

Spatial Optimization in Forest Planning Using Different Fragmentation Measures [PDF]
Habitat fragmentation is a key biodiversity issue in forest planning at the landscape level. More consideration is needed in assessing the choice of the landscape index in spatial forest planning optimizations. The objective of this study was to evaluate

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.
