It is projected that 25 million km of new paved roads will be developed globally by 2050—
enough to encircle the planet more than 600 times. Roughly 90% of new roads will be built …

We synthesize findings from one of the world's largest and longest‐running experimental
investigations, the B iological D ynamics of F orest F ragments P roject (BDFFP). Spanning …

Tropical forests are being deforested worldwide, and the remaining fragments are suffering
from biomass and biodiversity erosion. Quantifying this erosion is challenging because …

The rapid disruption of tropical forests probably imperils global biodiversity more than any
other contemporary phenomenon,,. With deforestation advancing quickly, protected areas …

Tropical forests have undergone extensive deforestation and degradation during the past
few decades, but the area and the carbon loss due to degradation could be larger than the …

Carbon storage is widely acknowledged as one of the most valuable forest ecosystem
services. Deforestation, logging, fragmentation, fire, and climate change have significant …

Ecosystems influence human societies, leading people to manage ecosystems for human
benefit. Poor environmental management can lead to reduced ecological resilience and …

Deforestation in the tropics is not only responsible for direct carbon emissions but also
extends the forest edge wherein trees suffer increased mortality. Here we combine high …

Tropical rainforests store enormous amounts of carbon, the protection of which represents a
vital component of efforts to mitigate global climate change. Currently, tropical forest …

We synthesize findings to date from the world's largest and longest-running experimental
study of habitat fragmentation, located in central Amazonia. Over the past 32years …
