Conceptual domain of the matrix in fragmented landscapes

TL;DR: The conceptual domain of the matrix, defined as three core effects and their interaction with these five dimensions, provides a much-needed framework to underpin management of fragmented landscapes and highlights new research priorities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Newly discovered landscape traps produce regime shifts in wet forests

TL;DR: The concept of landscape traps is described, whereby entire landscapes are shifted into, and then maintained in, a highly compromised structural and functional state as the result of multiple temporal and spatial feedbacks between human and natural disturbance regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Policies for Old Trees: Averting a Global Crisis in a Keystone Ecological Structure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that new policies and practices are urgently needed to conserve existing large old trees and restore ecologically effective and viable populations of such trees by managing trees and forests on much longer time scales than is currently practiced, and by protecting places where they are most likely to develop.
Journal ArticleDOI

How does ecological disturbance influence genetic diversity

TL;DR: It is argued here that disturbance history may be the major driver that shapes patterns of genetic diversity in many natural populations, and how disturbance influences genetic diversity through changes in both selective processes and demographically driven, selectively neutral processes is outlined.
