Assessing deforestation and fragmentation in a tropical moist forest over 68 years; the impact of roads and legal protection in the Cockpit Country, Jamaica

2014-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Historical data on landuse changes are important for interpreting the current status of natural systems such as forests. Analyses of road network dynamics can be particularly useful as network expansion is often a precursor to and an indicator of increased human activity. Legal protection is often seen as the most viable option available for protecting natural forests; but over the past decade, its effectiveness h...
