Anthropogenic effects on a tropical forest according to the distance from human settlements
The protection of tropical forests is one of the most urgent issues in conservation biology because of the rapid deforestation that has occurred over the last 50 years. Even in protected forests, the anthropogenic effects from newly expanding villages such as harvesting of medicinal plants, pasturing cattle and forest fires can induce environmental modifications, especially on the forest floor....
متن کاملA global model of the response of tropical and sub-tropical forest biodiversity to anthropogenic pressures
Habitat loss and degradation, driven largely by agricultural expansion and intensification, present the greatest immediate threat to biodiversity. Tropical forests harbour among the highest levels of terrestrial species diversity and are likely to experience rapid land-use change in the coming decades. Synthetic analyses of observed responses of species are useful for quantifying how land use a...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
15 صفحه اولAnthropogenic impacts on tropical forest biodiversity: a network structure and ecosystem functioning perspective.
Huge areas of diverse tropical forest are lost or degraded every year with dramatic consequences for biodiversity. Deforestation and fragmentation, over-exploitation, invasive species and climate change are the main drivers of tropical forest biodiversity loss. Most studies investigating these threats have focused on changes in species richness or species diversity. However, if we are to unders...
متن کاملPhysical Damage to Artificial Seedlings in Relation to Distance from Tropical Forest Edges
Litterfall can be a major cause of seedling mortality and damage in tropical forests, and is often elevated near forest edges. We predicted that, in Soberania National Park in central Panama, the proportion of experimental seedlings damaged by litterfall would be higher at forest edges than in the forest interior. Over a 16-week period during the rainy season, 41% of 1260 experimental seedlings...
