Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

Terrestrial disturbances are accelerating globally, but their full impact is not quantified
because we lack an adequate monitoring system. Remote sensing offers a means to …

Humans have spread an enormous net over the land. As the largest human artifact on earth,
this vast, nearly five million mile (8 million km) road network used by a quarter billion …

It is increasingly recognized that more sustainable approaches are needed for planning and
managing landscapes worldwide. New tools are needed to effectively apply sustainable …

Ecologists can be overwhelmed by the number of metrics available to quantify landscape
structure. Clarification of interrelationships and redundancy is needed to guide metric …

This practical handbook bridges the gap between those scientists who study landscapes
and the planners and conservationists who must then decide how best to preserve and build …

As remote sensing data and methods have become increasingly complex and varied-and
increasingly reliable-so have their uses in forest management. New algorithms have been …

This paper investigates the spatial heterogeneity of three landscapes along an altitudinal
gradient and different human land use. The main aim was the identification of appropriate …

Road development is a primary mechanism of fragmentation in the northern Great Lakes
Region, removing original land cover, creating edge habitat, altering landscape structure …

With an aim to understand the fragmentation of Usri watershed with the aid of open access
