Tropical Forest Remnants: Ecology, Management, and Conservation of Fragmented Communities
- Collection : Library of Chris O'Toole
- Publisher : University of Chicago Press
- Illustrations : 3 col plates, text figs
Description:
We live in an increasingly fragmented world, with islands of natural habitat cast adrift in a sea of cleared, burned, logged, polluted, and otherwise altered lands. Nowhere are fragmentation and its devastating effects more evident than in the tropical forests. By the year 2000, more than half of these forests will have been cut, causing increased soil erosion, watershed destabilization, climate degradation, and extinction of as many as 600,000 species.
