ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020 Forest degradation is considered to be one of the major threats to forests over the globe, which has considerably increased in recent decades. Forests are gradually getting fragmented and facing biodiversity losses because of climate change and ...

Does tropical forest fragmentation increase long-term variability of butterfly communities? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Habitat fragmentation is a major driver of biodiversity loss. Yet, the overall effects of fragmentation on biodiversity may be obscured by differences in responses among species.

Evaluation of buffer-radius modelling approaches used in forest conservation and planning [PDF]
, 2010 Spatial modelling approaches are increasingly being used to direct forest management and conservation planning at the landscape scale. A popular approach is the use of buffer-radius methods, which create buffers around distinct forest habitat patches to ...

The joint effects of forest habitat area and fragmentation on dung beetles
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation usually occur together, at the same time and place. However, while there is a consensus that habitat loss is the preeminent threat to biodiversity, the effects of fragmentation are contentious.

Using fragmentation to assess degradation of forest edges in Democratic Republic of Congo
Carbon Balance and Management, 2016 Background Recent studies have shown that fragmentation is an increasing threat to global forests, which has major impacts on biodiversity and the important ecosystem services provided by forested landscapes. Several tools have been developed to evaluate
