TL;DR: A meta-analysis of land-cover transformations of the past 10-15 years in tropical forest-agriculture frontiers world-wide shows that swidden agriculture decreases in landscapes with access to local, national and international markets that encourage cattle production and cash cropping, including bio-fuels.

Landscape Metrics and Indices: An Overview of Their Use in Landscape Research
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the use of various landscape metrics and landscape indices for the characterization of landscape structure and various processes at both landscape and ecosystem level, and analyzed the appearance of the terms landscape metrics/indexes/indices in combination with seven main categories in the field of landscape ecology (1) use/selection and misuse of metrics, 2) biodiversity and habitat analysis; 3) water quality; 4) evaluation of the landscape pattern and its change; 5) urban landscape pattern, road network; 6) aesthetics of landscape; 7) management, planning and monitoring

Restoration of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services on Agricultural Land
TL;DR: In this paper, an intermediate approach between land abandonment and farmland afforestation is proposed for ecological restoration in extensive agricultural landscapes, which allows reconciliation of farmland production, conservation of values linked to cultural landscapes, enhancement of biodiversity, and provision of a range of ecosystem services.

Impacts of forest fragmentation on species composition and forest structure in the temperate landscape of southern Chile
Cristian Echeverría,Cristian Echeverría,Adrian C. Newton,Antonio Lara,José María Rey Benayas,David A. Coomes +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the influence of spatial attributes of forest fragments when examining the impacts of fragmentation on woody species and found that patch size was the most important attribute influencing different measures of species composition, stand structure and anthropogenic disturbances.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes, based on published studies and a few original calculations, for the entire biosphere, the value (most of which is outside the market) is estimated to be in the range of US$16-54 trillion (10^(12)) per year, with an average of US $33 trillion per year.

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Biodiversity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that the term "fragmentation" should be reserved for the breaking apart of habitat, independent of habitat loss, and that fragmentation per se has much weaker effects on biodiversity that are at least as likely to be positive as negative.
Biological consequences of ecosystem fragmentation: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the biogeograpbic consequences of the creation of habitat islands of different sizes and have provided little of practical value to managers in the field of landscape management.

Status of land cover classification accuracy assessment
TL;DR: It is likely that it is unlikely that a single standardized method of accuracy assessment and reporting can be identified, but some possible directions for future research that may facilitate accuracy assessment are highlighted.
