Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that biodiversity values were substantially lower in degraded forests, but that this varied considerably by geographic region, taxonomic group, ecological metric and disturbance type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-complete extinction of native small mammal fauna 25 years after forest fragmentation
Luke Gibson,Antony J. Lynam,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Fangliang He,Fangliang He,David Bickford,David S. Woodruff,Sara Bumrungsri,William F. Laurance +8 more
TL;DR: The rapid loss of native mammals from isolated Thai forests suggests that forest fragments cannot maintain biodiversity, and small fragments are potentially even more vulnerable to biodiversity loss than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest fragmentation in China and its effect on biodiversity.
Jiajia Liu,Jiajia Liu,David A. Coomes,Luke Gibson,Guang Hu,Jinliang Liu,Yangqing Luo,Chuping Wu,Mingjian Yu +8 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews fragmentation trends – historical and current – in China, the fourth largest country on Earth, and explores its consequences, showing that the drivers of forest fragmentation are shifting from mainly agricultural expansion to urbanisation and infrastructure development.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Green is 'Green' Energy?
TL;DR: The ecological impacts of three major types of renewable energy - hydro, solar, and wind energy - are reviewed and some strategies for mitigating their negative effects are highlighted.
