Evaluation of buffer-radius modelling approaches used in forest conservation and planning [PDF]
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 ...
