Smart Communities Network - Creating Energy Smart Communities http://forestryindex.net/links/smart-communities-network---creating-energy-smart-communities We're finding that more and more cities, villages, neighborhoods and regions are using sustainable development as a guiding principle not only for near-term projects, but also for planning their futures.As your community makes its development decisions with all of the attendant impacts on transportation patterns, building efficiency, industrial productivity and so on you affect national energy security, as well as the nation's economic and environmental health.No publishermhowell2024-01-07T23:52:58ZLinkContribution of Roads to Forest Fragmentation http://forestryindex.net/links/contribution-of-roads-to-forest-fragmentation Fragmentation affects animal populations in a variety of ways, including decreased species diversity and lower densities of some animal species in the resulting smaller patches. This study seeks to quantify the effects of roads and logging activities on forest habitat.No publishermhowell2023-12-11T01:06:20ZLinkCenter for Biodiversity and Conservation http://forestryindex.net/links/center-for-biodiversity-and-conservation Forest fragmentation from urban sprawl is a site-level phenomenon; however, it affects conservation of biodiversity at landscape and regional scales. Impediments to conservation occur when crossing jurisdictional and agency (local, state, and federal) boundaries.No publishermhowell2023-12-02T23:41:55ZLinkWhat is Forest Fragmentation and Why is it Important? http://forestryindex.net/links/what-is-forest-fragmentation-and-why-is-it-important Forest fragmentation occurs when large, continuous forests are divided into smaller blocks, either by roads, clearing for agriculture, urbanization, or other human development. Ornithologists suspect that fragmentation harms many woodland birds by increasing their susceptibility to predation and nest parasitism.No publishermhowell2023-05-11T18:44:44ZLinkGreen Infrastructure: The Conservation Fund http://forestryindex.net/links/green-infrastructure-the-conservation-fund Green Infrastructure is our Nation's natural life support system - an interconnected network of protected land and water that supports native species, maintains natural ecological processes, sustains air and water resources and contributes to the health and quality of life for America's communities and people.No publishermhowell2023-06-03T19:20:01ZLinkForest fragmentation creating genetic bottleneck http://forestryindex.net/links/forest-fragmentation-creating-genetic-bottleneck Scientists have recently discovered that the deforestation of tropical areas may be more devastating than previously thought.No publishermhowell2023-07-31T05:11:38ZLink
