A Subcontinental Analysis of Forest Fragmentation Effects on Insect and Disease Invasion [PDF]

, 2018
The influences of human and physical factors on species invasions have been extensively examined by ecologists across many regions. However, how habitat fragmentation per se may affect forest insect and disease invasion has not been well studied ...

Impact of Fragmentation on Carbon Uptake in Subtropical Forest Landscapes in Zhejiang Province, China

Remote Sensing
Global changes cause widespread forest fragmentation, which, in turn, has given rise to many ecological problems; this is especially true if the forest carbon stock is profoundly impacted by fragmentation levels.

Deforestation-Induced Fragmentation Increases Forest Fire Occurrence in Central Brazilian Amazonia [PDF]

, 2018
Amazonia is home to more than half of the world’s remaining tropical forests, playing a key role as reservoirs of carbon and biodiversity. However, whether at a slower or faster pace, continued deforestation causes forest fragmentation in this ...

Effects of local tree diversity on herbivore communities diminish with increasing forest fragmentation on the landscape scale. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
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 ...

Conservation of forest cover in Mesoamerican biosphere reserves is associated with the increase of local non-farm occupation

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Protected areas can prevent forest loss, but their effects on forest fragmentation and forest regrowth are poorly understood. Furthermore, the importance of protected areas in shaping these forest spatial changes may depend on different socioeconomic ...

THE RAPID CHANGES OF THE LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE OF THE MERANTI-DANGKU TROPICAL LOWLAND FOREST IN THE SOUTH SUMATRA PROVINCE, INDONESIA

Sriwijaya Journal of Environment, 2017
The fragmentation of forest vegetation cover can be measured quantitatively, using tools that can characterize the geometry and spatial properties of the patch or patches of mosaic, which depicts the forest loss and the changes in the temporal pattern.

Multiscale fragmentation of forest types in Spain [PDF]

, 2023
This work establishes a framework for the assessment and comparison of the degree of forest fragmentation by generating reference curves of the Forest Area Density (FAD) metric by forest type and identifying fragmentation profiles that can be derived ...
