Forest landscape change and biodiversity conservation

摘要: Forest landscapes are changing at unprecedented rates in many regions of the world. This may have profound consequences for diversity and resilience forest ecosystems impose considerable challenges their management. In this chapter, we review different types change that can occur a landscape, including modifications habitat amount, quality, fragmentation, connectivity, heterogeneity. We describe conceptual differences potential interactions among these changes provide summary possible responses species depending on degree specialization, dispersal abilities, other factors. main current drivers world how they affecting (often synergistically) biodiversity: deforestation, climate change, fires, abandonment rural land, land-use intensification, spread invasive species, management, increasing amount plantation forest. conclude by providing recommendations strategies mitigating minimizing undesirable effects landscape biodiversity.
