Biological Consequences of Ecosystem Fragmentation: A Review
Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 18-32 - 1991
Denis A. Saunders, Richard J. Hobbs, Chris Margules
Abstract. Abstract Research on fragmented ecosystems has focused mostly on the biogeograpbic consequences of the creation of habitat “islands” of different sizes and has provided little of practical value to managers. However, ecosystem fragmentation causes large changes in the physical environment as well as biogeograpbic changes. Fragmentation generally results in...... hiện toàn bộ
Indicators for Monitoring Biodiversity: A Hierarchical Approach
Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 355-364 - 1990
Reed F. Noss
Abstract: Biodiversity is presently a minor consideration in environmental policy. It has been regarded as too broad and vague a concept to be applied to real‐world regulatory and management problems. This problem can be corrected if biodiversity is recognized as an end in itself, and if measurable indicators can be selected to assess the status of biodiversity over...... hiện toàn bộ
A Method for Assessing Hydrologic Alteration within Ecosystems
Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 1163-1174 - 1996
Brian D. Richter, Jeffrey V. Baumgartner, Jennifer R. Powell, David P. Braun
Hydrologic regimes play a major role in determining the biotic composition, structure, and function of aquatic, wetland, and riparian ecosystems. But human land and water uses are substantially altering hydrologic regimes around the world. Improved quantitative evaluations of human‐induced hydrologic changes are needed to advance research on the biotic implications of hydrologic alteration...... hiện toàn bộ
Correlation between Fitness and Genetic Diversity
Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 230-237 - 2003
David Reed, Richard Frankham
Abstract: Genetic diversity is one of the three forms of biodiversity recognized by the World Conservation Union ( IUCN ) as deserving conservation. The need to conserve genetic diversity within populations is based on two arguments: the necessity of genetic diversity for evolution to occur, and the expected relationship between heterozygosity and population fitness....... hiện toàn bộ
Command and Control and the Pathology of Natural Resource Management
Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 328-337 - 1996
C. S. Holling, Gary K. Meffe
As the human population grows and natural resources decline, there is pressure to apply increasing levels of top‐down, command‐and‐control management to natural resources. This is manifested in attempts to control ecosystems and in socioeconomic institutions that respond to erratic or surprising ecosystem behavior with more control. Command and control, however, usually results in unforese...... hiện toàn bộ
Rethinking Community‐Based Conservation
Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 621-630 - 2004
Fikret Berkes
Abstract:  Community‐based conservation (CBC) is based on the idea that if conservation and development could be simultaneously achieved, then the interests of both could be served. It has been controversial because community development objectives are not necessarily consistent with conservation objectives in a given case. I examined CBC from two angle...... hiện toàn bộ
Conservation of the Brazilian Cerrado
Tập 19 Số 3 - Trang 707-713 - 2005
Carlos Augusto Klink, Ricardo B. Machado
Abstract:  The Cerrado is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. In the last 35 years, more than 50% of its approximately 2 million km2 has been transformed into pasture and agricultural lands planted in cash crops. The Cerrado has the richest flora among the world's savannas (>7000 species) and high levels of endemism. Specie...... hiện toàn bộ
Natural Capital and Sustainable Development
Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 37-46 - 1992
Robert Costanza, Herman E. Daly
Abstract: A minimum necessary condition for sustainability is the maintenance of the total natural capital stock at or above the current level. While a lower stock of natural capital may be sustainable, society can allow no further decline in natural capital given the large uncertainty and the dire consequences of guessing wrong. This “constancy of total natural capi...... hiện toàn bộ
The Global 200: A Representation Approach to Conserving the Earth’s Most Biologically Valuable Ecoregions

David M. Olson, Eric Dinerstein
A Survey and Overview of Habitat Fragmentation Experiments
Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 342-355 - 2000
Diane M. Debinski, Robert D. Holt
Abstract: Habitat destruction and fragmentation are the root causes of many conservation problems. We conducted a literature survey and canvassed the ecological community to identify experimental studies of terrestrial habitat fragmentation and to determine whether consistent themes were emerging from these studies. Our survey revealed 20 fragmentation experiments wo...... hiện toàn bộ
