In addition to having severe repercussions for animals like jaguars and tigers that require vast tracts of connected habitat, forest fragmentation has a big carbon footprint. A new physics-based study ...

I compared dung beetle communities and assessed some of their functional effects (dung removal, seed burial, seedling establishment) in continuous forest with those in 1-ha and 10-ha forest fragments ...

UFZ researchers Prof. Andreas Huth and Dr. Rico Fischer led a new study in collaboration with the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the University of Maryland looking at the carbon ...

A new study by researchers at the European Commission's Joint Research Center reveals that the Amazon rainforest has just undergone its most devastating forest fire season in over two decades, which ...

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 ...

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 ecosystem ...

New England forests may be more sensitive to climate change than previously suggested. Over the past centuries, as we humans have cleared fields for farms, built roads and highways, and expanded ...

Breaking up the rainforest into small, isolated patches is forcing more species to live at the forest edge and putting those that are dependent on the forest core at risk. Eighty-five percent of ...
