Distribution and Causes of Global Forest Fragmentation
Because human land uses tend to expand over time, forests that share a high proportion of their borders with anthropogenic uses are at higher risk of further degradation than forests that share a high proportion of their borders with non-forest, natural land cover (e.g., wetland). Using 1-km advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) satellite-based land cover, we present a method to sepa...
متن کاملIndependent Effects of Forest Cover and Fragmentation on the Distribution of Forest Breeding Birds
The aims o f this study were ( 1 ) to determine the relative importance o f the independent effects o f forest cover and fragmentation on the distribution o f forest breeding birds, and ( 2 ) to test the hypothesis that the negative ef fect o f forest fragmentation on species distribution increases with decreasing forest cover, i.e., the negative interaction ef fect o f forest cover and fragmen...
متن کاملDistribution and drivers of global mangrove forest change, 1996–2010
For the period 1996-2010, we provide the first indication of the drivers behind mangrove land cover and land use change across the (pan-)tropics using time-series Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS-1) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array-type L-band SAR (PALSAR) data. Multi-temporal radar mosaics were manually interpreted for evidence of...
متن کاملForest Landscape in Europe: Pattern, Fragmentation and Connectivity Forest Landscape in Europe: Pattern, Fragmentation and Connectivity
The JRC demonstrated the feasibility to assess and report in a harmonized manner, forest landscape pattern and fragmentation in Europe, on the basis of an easily reproducible set of indices. Results were used in the Forest EUROPE, UN ECE and FAO joint ministerial reporting process on the protection of forests in Europe where data on forest pattern do not exist from national forest inventories. ...
متن کاملEconomics of Forest Land Conversion and Fragmentation
This paper looks at the economics of conversion and fragmentation of forest land. The forestry economics literature has generally focussed on the management of a single stand for timber and non-timber forest benefits with little attention being paid to forest level land use decisions, and in particular forest stand interactions. As noted by Bowes and Krutilla (1989), the focus on a single stand...
