Size-dependent resistance of protected areas to land-use change.
One of the major threats facing protected areas (PAs) is land-use change and habitat loss. We assessed the impact of land-use change on PAs. The majority of parks have been effective at protecting the ecosystems within their borders, even in areas with significant land-use pressures. More in particular, the capacity of PAs to slow down habitat degradation and to favour habitat restoration is cl...
متن کاملPrescribing Solutions: Landscape-Based Land-Use Plans
Plans and policies are enhanced by information generated in Step 1, which involves analyzing the role that wetlands play in landscape processes. Landscape processes both maintain and interact with wetlands and the functions they perform. Landscape processes can include physical processes such as those that maintain hydrology and the physical stability of shorelines; chemical processes such as t...
متن کاملProtected Areas in Tropical Africa: Assessing Threats and Conservation Activities
Numerous protected areas (PAs) have been created in Africa to safeguard wildlife and other natural resources. However, significant threats from anthropogenic activities and decline of wildlife populations persist, while conservation efforts in most PAs are still minimal. We assessed the impact level of the most common threats to wildlife within PAs in tropical Africa and the relationship of con...

متن کاملCharacterizing Land Use Change in Multidisciplinary Landscape-Level Analyses
Economists increasingly face opportunities to collaborate with ecologists on landscape-level analyses of socioeconomic and ecological processes. Tnis often calls for developing empirical models to project land use change as input into ecological models. Providing ecologists with the land use information they desire can present many challenges regarding data, modeling, and econometrics. This pap...
