The matrix effect: how agricultural matrices shape forest fragment structure and amphibian composition

2017-08-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered the main drivers of species population declines and extinctions in the world. The large‐scale replacement of natural habitats with human‐modified habitats, such as the replacement of forests with agricultural and livestock farming areas, creates a scenario where natural habitat patches are immersed in an inhospitable land use matrix. We sought to evaluate how fore...
