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 ...

The Relationship of Forest Fragmentation to Scots Pine Forest Mortality
LandForest mortality (FM) is influenced by several independent factors, including forest fragmentation (FF) at different spatial scales and multi-scales, site conditions, and stand characteristics.

Detecting fragmentation extinction thresholds for forest understory plant species in peninsular Spain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ecological theory predicts that fragmentation aggravates the effects of habitat loss, yet empirical results show mixed evidences, which fail to support the theory instead reinforcing the primary importance of habitat loss.

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.

Discerning fragmentation dynamics of tropical forest and wetland during reforestation, urban sprawl, and policy shifts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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.
