Habitat fragmentation and landscape change : an ecological and conservation synthesis / David B. Lindenmayer, Joern Fischer. - Washington : Island Press, ©2006. - 1 online resource (xviii, 328 pages) : illustrations, maps
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-316) and index.
Introduction -- How landscapes change -- How landscape change affects organisms : a conceptual framework -- Habitat loss -- Habitat degradation -- Habitat subdivision and habitat isolation -- Changes in the behavior, biology, and interactions of species -- Synthesis : threatening processes for species in modified landscapes -- Land cover change and patch sizes -- Deterioration of vegetation and the physical environment -- Edge effects -- Landscape connectivity -- Nestedness and community assembly -- matrix and landscape heterogeneity -- Synthesis : cascading effects of landscape change -- Field-based approaches to studying species and assemblages in modified landscapes -- Desktop approaches to studying species and assemblages in modified landscapes -- Managing landscape pattern to mitigate the decline of species and assemblages -- Managing individual species and ecological processes to mitigate the decline of species and assemblages -- Guiding principles for mitigating the decline of species and assemblages of species.
