An analysis of thousands of forest plots reveals an underappreciated link between animal biodiversity and carbon storage ...

The commonwealth had an estimated 16.6 million acres of forest land in 2019, according to the most recent data. That’s down from 16.9 million in 2014, with nearly half of the loss due to ...

To understand how habitat fragmentation affects wildlife, I often think of a study I first covered in 2016 about three monkey species — the white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons), the ...

But in reality, deforestation and forest fragmentation, the conversion of forests to other things is a far greater threat to forests and the biodiversity they support in every part of them.

In addition, the filing noted that “impacts of forest fragmentation on a diverse suite of forest ecosystem services is not thoroughly acknowledged, analyzed, nor quantified” in the final ...

Matching control plots in continuous forest were also established. By 2002, the project had produced a simple answer about fragmentation: Large intact areas are very important, the larger the better.

Forest fragmentation—the division of large, intact woodlands into smaller patches—has emerged as a critical issue in 21st-century global land cover change, with far-reaching implications for ...

Using laser scanning, researchers at the University of Helsinki have mapped out how the fragmentation of forests affects tree shape in the rainforests of Brazil. Edge effects are evidenced in the ...
