The cumulative effect of many local forest disturbances can be estimated from an analysis of forest distribution at the scale of the entire landscape. To gauge the regional impact of forest clearance and regeneration, a history of forest cover was compiled for the twentieth century in the hinterlan...

This distribution pattern would be caused by frost sensibility of forest species, and by the different strategies of water capture of woody and herbaceous plants. Three pairs of plant assemblages were not discriminated, allowing classification of 8 habitat types out of the 11 communities. Un...
Temperate forestBiodiversity persistenceHabitat fragmentation and forest management have been considered to drastically alter the nature of forest ecosystems globally. However, much uncertainty remains regarding the causative mechanisms mediating temperate forest responses, such as forest physical environment and ...
in sizes smaller than we census in the forest plot. Second, species may have higher performance on their preferred habitat when density is low, but when population builds up, there are negative density-dependent feedbacks that reduce performance. Third, demographic filtering may be produced by extr...
Assessment of spatial functionality of old forest in Sweden as habitat for virtual species Old forest stands comprise a very small proportion of the managed forested landscapes of Scandinavia today compared with the preindustrial era. Therefore, ... G Mikusiński,L Edenius - 《Scandinavian Journal ...
First, traditional slash-and-burn methods and large-scale planting of single cash crops such as rubber and oil palm have severely damaged forests in Southeast Asia. Second, hydroelectric development in the Mekong River Basin poses a threat to the habitat of animals and plants, and mining has cr...
green colors correspond to forests or grasslands. The brown colors are shrubland or herbaceous areas. This layer doesn't need to be preprocessed and can be used directly in the least-cost analysis, where you'll assign the lowest cost to dense vegetation cover types, such as forest and shrub...
Primary forest loss since 2000 We estimated forest loss using a Global Forest Change dataset provided by the Global Land Analysis and Discovery (GLAD), University of Maryland93. These data have reasonable accuracy in large, dense evergreen forests, but accuracy decreases for seasonal forests, at ...
Multivariate analyses of distributions of small mammals identified important habitat associations in a precordilleran temperate rainforest in southern Chile. Significant differences in vegetation were found between summer (January-March) and winter (July-August) periods, indicating that multiple-season studies...
