The Cerrado into-pieces: Habitat fragmentation as a function of landscape use in the savannas of central Brazil

2009-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Habitat fragmentation and land conversion by humans for agricultural purposes are constant threats to conservation of biodiversity in the Cerrado biome. These landscapes dominated by agricultural activities became dynamic mosaics, which are formed by different land uses. Thus, understanding how the properties of these mosaics affect species' persistence is one urgent necessity. In this study, the landscape structu...
