Fragmentation of landscapes creates a transition zone in between natural habitats or
different kinds of land use. In forested and agricultural landscapes with transition zones …

Urban areas and green spaces are significant atmospheric carbon sources and sinks.
Spatial planning is crucial for improving the urban carbon budget. However, there are many …

Urban forest fragments are highly multifunctional and provide many ecosystem services to
people. However, the expansion and densification of cities is threatening this particular type …

Fragmentation transforms the environment along forest edges. The prevailing narrative,
driven by research in tropical systems, suggests that edge environments increase tree …

Forests are major components of the global carbon (C) cycle and thereby strongly influence
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) and climate. However, efforts to incorporate forests into …

Urbanization can either directly occupy forests or indirectly lead to forest loss elsewhere
through cultivated land displacement, resulting in further forest fragmentation and ecosystem …

Global forest cover is heavily fragmented. Due to high edge-to-surface ratios in small forest
patches, a large proportion of forests is affected by edge influences involving steep …

Forest fragmentation is a ubiquitous, ongoing global phenomenon with profound impacts on
the growing conditions of the world's remaining forest. The temperate broadleaf forest makes …

Forest biodiversity world‐wide is affected by climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation,
and today 20% of the forest area is located within 100 m of a forest edge. Still, forest edges …

As urbanization and forest fragmentation increase around the globe, it is critical to
understand how rates of respiration and carbon losses from soil carbon pools are affected …
