Are hedgerows effective corridors between fragments of woodland habitat? An evidence-based approach [PDF]
, 2007 Anthropogenic modification of the countryside has resulted in much of the landscape consisting of fragments of once continuous habitat. Increasing habitat connectivity at the landscape-scale has a vital role to play in the conservation of species ...
