Regional land-use impacts affecting avian richness patterns in Southern Africa-insights from historical avian atlas data

2004-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Biodiversity conservation is a challenge within developing regions of the world. Landscape heterogeneity is largely directed by interconnected economic and social systems, which are largely driven by political, communal, and private control of the land estate. There is increasing evidence that areas of high species richness may coincide with dense human settlement. Influences of landscape pattern, human impact, an...
