Impacts of Logging Road Networks on Dung Beetles and Small Mammals in a Malaysian Production Forest: Implications for Biodiversity Safeguards

摘要: Various international bodies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have proposed guidelines for safeguarding biodiversity. Nevertheless, quantitative criteria biodiversity should first be established to measure the attainment of conservation if is safeguarded effectively. We conducted research on impact logging dung beetles small mammals in a production forest Temengor Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia. This was done develop such Malaysian forests while paying special attention effects road networks, as skid trails, roads, log yards, Species assemblages well along adjacent networks were significantly different from those interiors. Therefore, minimizing network density will contribute retaining biodiversity; this allow us use criterion forests. Additionally, easily measurable verifiable by remote sensing, which enables check implementation criteria.
