Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes

2010-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Recent global assessments have shown the limited coverage of protected areas across tropical biotas, fuelling a growing interest in the potential conservation services provided by anthropogenic landscapes. Here we examine the geographic distribution of biological diversity in the Atlantic Forest of South America, synthesize the most conspicuous forest biodiversity responses to human disturbances, propose further c...
