Abstract:
An important consequence of habitat fragmentation for wildlife communities is the effect of an increase in the ratio of habitat edge to interior. This study compares the bird communities at forest/farmland edges and in forest interior at Bunyip State Park, Victoria. Overall, there was a significantly higher number of bird species and individuals in forest edge than in forest interior sites. The greater diversity of species at edge sites appeared to be due to an increase in forest-edge specialists, as opposed to an influx of open-country species. Four bird species: the white-throated treecreepe

Abstract:
Abstract As insect pollinator populations continue to decline, it is essential to understand the impacts of anthropogenic activities, including forest management, on pollinator communities. Although multiple studies have shown that clearcutting is beneficial for bees, other less intense, selective silvicultural methods that result in disproportionate increases in edge habitat within stands are less well understood. We investigated bee community characteristics across microsites (center of cut, edge of cut, and closed-canopy forest) in three mixed-mesophytic forest stands subjected to group sel

Abstract:
Habitat fragmentation and land use changes threaten neotropical habitats and alter patterns of diversity at forest edges. Like other arthropod assemblages, neotropical fruit-feeding butterfly communities show strong vertical stratification within forests, with some recent work showing its potential role in speciation. At forest edges, species considered to be forest canopy specialists have been observed descending to the forest understory, with the similarity in light conditions between the canopy and understory strata at edges hypothesized to be responsible for this phenomenon.

AbstractMost evidence suggests anthropogenic edges negatively affect rain-forest bird communities but little has been done to test this in Australasia. In this study, avifaunal detection frequency, species richness and community composition were compared between the edge and interior and between flat and more complex-shaped edges of riparian rain-forest tracts in Tropical North Queensland. The detection frequency and richness of guilds based on diet, foraging strata and habitat specialism were also compared.

Abstract:
Riparian forests are often identified as prime habitat for wildlife because of the presence of particular plant communities and edges creating a highly developed and diversified vegetation structure. However, in the northeastern boreal forests of Canada, where narrow land–water ecotones with abrupt edges are quite common, the relative habitat value of riparian forests remains to be demonstrated. We compared bird communities of eight pairs of riparian and nonriparian plots, similar in vegetation structure and composition, to verify the relative value for breeding birds of typical coniferous rip

Abstract:
Insect communities in tropical forests tend to be structured vertically and with respect to tree fall gaps and edges. Furthermore, insect communities vary over time. Insight into such habitat specificity and temporal variation is needed to design and interpret biodiversity surveys and to compare conservation value among habitats. Some aspects of tropical insect community structure, such as the proportion of canopy specialists and temporal variation, vary among biogeographical regions and climatic zones. To date, few regions have been sampled systematically, so generalization remains difficult.

Most studies on edge effect are related to the forest-field edge, i.e. to the ecotone. However, there is a lack of studies attempting to investigate the effect of the distance from the forest/field edge on the avian communities in large continuous forests. The purpose of this study was to investigate this issue. The study area comprised a continuous coniferous forest, the so called Niemodlin Forest, situated in Opole Silesia, SW Poland. The line transect method has been employed in this study. In total, 54 breeding bird species were recorded. On particular 0.5 km section, the numbers varied fr

Abstract:
As a result of forest fragmentation, ecotones have become an important contribution to the landscape. The areas that include ecotones are constantly growing, thus creating new habitats for plants and animals. The factor that has the greatest impact on the configuration and extent of an ecotone is called the “edge effect”. The aim of this study was to determine the width of the ecotones in forests that are adjacent to an expressway and to characterize the edge effect they produced.

Globally, many forest ecosystems that undergo harvesting are adapted to natural disturbances such as fire. However, harvested forests can have depleted biodiversity due to different ecological impacts between harvesting and natural disturbance. To minimise the ecological changes due to forest harvesting, management techniques have been developed that better mimic the effects of natural disturbance. These techniques focus on retaining structural components of the pre-disturbance forest within harvested areas. Retained structures create more mature environmental conditions within the harve

Abstract Forested wetlands dominated by Chamaecyparis thyoides (L.) BSP. (Atlantic white cedar) occur in the New Jersey Pinelands Biosphere Reserve in the eastern United States Atlantic Coastal Plain. The development of plant community structure in these swamps is influenced by both autogenic and allogenic factors within the physical and biotic environment including water table, disturbance, soil layer, herbivory, and plant competition (Little 1950, Roman et al. 1990). Changes in the physical and biotic environment since human colonization appear to be affecting community structure resulting i

Abstract:
Abstract Monitoring and preventing Geohazard such as landslides is a critical aspect of infrastructure engineering, essential for safeguarding infrastructure and communities. Effective slope stability analysis and failure monitoring demand the integration of comprehensive, field-acquired data to capture the complex dynamics of soil-structure interaction. While traditional methods such as remote sensing and aerial monitoring are commonly employed for geohazard assessment, they often fall short in providing the real-time capabilities necessary for timely intervention for risk assessment.

Abstract:
Open satellite data enable a comprehensive multispectral analysis of vegetation worldwide. The importance of these analyzes is particularly emphasized in the area of large and impassable forests. Due to the vulnerability of forest ecosystems as a result of climate change, multispectral analysis will make a crucial contribution to proper forest management in the event of drought and to reducing the risk of forest fi res. In the Fruska gora National Park among more than 20 forest communities, there is a community of sessile oak and hornbeam with butcher's broom (Rusco-Querco-Carpinetum), as well

Abstract:
Akuressa and Athuraliya Divisional Secretariats in Sri Lanka frequently experience severe damage to human lives, infrastructure, and economic growth due to floods. These floods are often caused by elements like land use patterns, urbanization, and environmental degradation. This study aims to establish the connection between flood vulnerability and land use as importantly necessary for effective disaster management and mitigation strategies. Therefore, this research provides useful knowledge on flood vulnerability prediction based on land use patterns that can be used by policymakers, urban pl

Abstract:
Abstract In recent years, edge finishing with filamentary brushes has received much attention within the applied research and manufacturing engineering communities. This interest may be attributed, in part, to the ease with which brushing tools can be introduced into an automated machining environment. That is, such tools exert relatively small machining forces, remove material incrementally, and minimize the risk of generating abrupt, unstable forces that can lead to tool/workpart damage during the finishing operation. Although brushes have been successfully used in automated finishing applic

This conference discusses the responsibility of media when reporting on crime and the hidden purposes coverage may pursue. The interpretation of crime phenomenon by the press has become a two-edged sword for policymakers and the public. The return to democratic rule throughout the region has meant journalists can report on an endless number of topics extensively; dictatorships frequently were able to suppress the unwelcome news of social turmoil, such as crime, through censorship. However, the "cronica roja"--gripping bloodsoaked true crime tales--carried by many newspapers and magazines can a
