Potential priority areas for forest-dwelling species in Spain based on the degree of forest fragmentation

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2023
Habitat fragmentation is a process that may impair the “habitat provision” ecosystem service provided by forests. Thus, it is relevant to quantify the degree of forest fragmentation, since higher levels are expected to have greater effects on forest ...

A Systematic Comparison of Cultural and Ecological Landscape Corridors in Europe

open access: yesLand, 2019
Landscape corridors are narrow strips of land that differ from the matrix on either side. In addition to providing connectivity between fragmented landscapes, these corridors serve scenic, cultural, social, ecological, and recreational purposes.

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 ...

High-Mountain Landscape Classification to Analyze Patterns of Land Use and Potential Natural Vegetation

open access: yesLand, 2022
In Georgia’s Lesser Caucasus, extremely species rich wooded grasslands are still used as pastures or meadows. These silvopastoral systems are one of the oldest land-use types in Europe, hosting both light-demanding and shade-tolerant species. However, in

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 ...

Land Cover and Landscape Structural Changes Using Extreme Gradient Boosting Random Forest and Fragmentation Analysis

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Land use and land cover change constitute a significant driver of land degradation worldwide, and machine-learning algorithms are providing new opportunities for effectively classifying land use and land cover changes over time.

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 ...

Context matters: the landscape matrix determines the population genetic structure of temperate forest herbs across Europe [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2022
Context Plant populations in agricultural landscapes are mostly fragmented and their functional connectivity often depends on seed and pollen dispersal by animals. However, little is known about how the interactions of seed and pollen dispersers with the
