Geospatial Assessment of Forest Fragmentation and its Implications for Ecological Processes in Tropical Forests

open access: yesJournal of Landscape Ecology, 2017
The study assessed the patterns of spatio-temporal configuration imposed on a forest landscape in Southwestern Nigeria due to fragmentation for the period 1986 – 2010 in order to understand the relationship between landscape patterns and the ecological ...

Responses of grassland arthropods to various biodiversity-friendly management practices: Is there a compromise?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
The rich species pool in semi-natural grasslands is associated with high spatial and temporal heterogeneity. This empirical study is one of the first to jointly analyze the response of orders, individual species and functional richness of arthropods to ...

Connectivity affects species turnover in soil microarthropod communities during Mediterranean forest establishment

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Environmental conditions and the spatial arrangement of habitats are thought to play a major role in shaping community assembly during habitat construction and may be key in establishing time lags between habitat establishment and species colonization ...

Landscape Structure, Landscape Metrics and Biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Landscape Research, 2011
This paper deals with the question of the role landscape metrics can play in the investigation, evaluation and monitoring of landscape structure, and which linkages between landscape structure and biodiversity are known. In the first part, the scientific state of the art is presented; in the second part, the meaning of landscape metrics for nature ...

Multi-Scape Interventions to Match Spatial Scales of Demand and Supply of Ecosystem Services

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
The original focus on supply of ecosystem services is shifting toward matching supply and demand. This new focus underlines the need to consider not only the amount of ecosystem services but also their spatial and temporal distributions relative to ...

Delimitation of landscape units treated as estimation fields in the modelling of a landscape system

open access: yesMiscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2013
The main objective of this paper is to represent the hierarchical structure of an environment by using two concepts: typology and regionalization. The Płock Region (1,766.95 sq. km) and transect crossing this area (796.2 sq. km) is the research location.
