Forest diversity in fragmented landscapes of northern Ethiopia and implications for conservation
Deforestation and habitat fragmentation that arise largely due to the conversion of forests to other agricultural land-use types and over-utilization of forest resources to satisfy the food and energy requirements of the increasing population are major environmental concerns in northern Ethiopia. Understanding plant species diversity and spatial distribution along environmental gradients is cru...

متن کاملTimber Market Liberalization in Sri Lanka: Implications for Forest Conservation
This paper examines the impact of timber trade liberalisation on economic welfare and forest conservation in Sri Lanka. A partial equilibrium market simulation model was used to analyse the welfare impacts. Results show that removal of all border charges reduce timber price by about 25%. Decline in timber price reduces the incentives for illegal logging and enhances forest conservation in Sri L...
متن کاملChanging organisms in rapidly changing anthropogenic landscapes: the significance of the ‘Umwelt’-concept and functional habitat for animal conservation
There is a growing recognition for the significance of evolutionary thinking in ecology and conservation biology. However, ecology and conservation studies often work with species-specific, fixed traits that ignore intraspecific variation. The way the habitat of a species is considered is an example of typological thinking biased by human perception. Structural habitat units (e.g., land cover t...
متن کاملSynergies for Improving Oil Palm Production and Forest Conservation in Floodplain Landscapes
Lowland tropical forests are increasingly threatened with conversion to oil palm as global demand and high profit drives crop expansion throughout the world's tropical regions. Yet, landscapes are not homogeneous and regional constraints dictate land suitability for this crop. We conducted a regional study to investigate spatial and economic components of forest conversion to oil palm within a ...
