With forest fragmentation continuing in many parts of the tropics, it is likely that fragmented
forests will become the rule for most remaining global tropical forests in the next decades. In …

Aims Both ecological drift and environmental heterogeneity can produce high beta diversity
among communities, but only the effect of drift is expected to be enhanced in communities of …

Shifting cultivation is a widespread practice in tropical forested areas that policy makers
often regard as the major cause of forest degradation. Secondary fallow forests regrowing …

As forest fragmentation continues in many parts of the tropics, the conservation value of
forest remnants remains controversial. Our study aimed to assess the structure and tree …

Questions Forest fragmentation affects biodiversity locally (α diversity) and beyond—at
relatively larger scales (γ diversity)—by increasing dispersal and recruitment limitations. Yet …

Forest cover loss and fragmentation have increased in recent years due to the increasing
anthropogenic land use. Whereas previous studies have focused mostly on forest cover …

摘要鉴于全球森林均呈现片段化(破碎化) 的分布状态, 理解片段化森林群落构建的过程很有必要.
该文通过综述群落构建的主要生态过程如生态漂变, 扩散, 选择和物种形成等在片段化森林群落 …
