Tree diversity of small forest fragments in ecotonal regions: why must these fragments be preserved?

2016-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Descriptions of biodiversity from ecotonal regions are lacking. This knowledge gap results from the difficulty of identifying elements from both biomes/domains and the advancement of human activities that generate small forest fragments. Here it is shown that small forest fragments in an ecotonal region have species richness and abundance in line with other inventories in preserved and non-preserved areas as well...
