In a groundbreaking study that explores the ecological consequences of forest fragmentation, researchers are examining the degradation of edge forests and the associated carbon loss. The study, titled ...

Point cloud of trees growing deep in the forest (above) and in fragmented forests in Central Amazonia, obtained using highresolution terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). The green area represents the ...

Scientists investigated the differences in carbon storage of trees and soils along forest edges versus the interiors of temperate forests in the northeastern United States. They found that trees ...

Edge effects are the changes in biodiversity that occur inside the space surrounding the shared edge of two or more distinct ecosystems. This transitional zone rich in biodiversity is known as the ...

ABSTRACT As a consequence of extensive habitat loss and fragmentation, grassland bird populations have declined substantially across much of North America. To assess management strategies for ...
