Integrating functional connectivity and fire management for better conservation outcomes
Conservation Biology, 2020 Abstract Globally, the mean abundance of terrestrial animals has fallen by 50% since 1970, and populations face ongoing threats associated with habitat loss, fragmentation, climate change, and disturbance. Climate change can influence the quality of remaining habitat directly and indirectly by precipitating increases in the extent ...
