Abstract
Fragmentation of forests can result in many negative conservation outcomes including:
• Biodiversity decline
• Forest biomass loss and decreased carbon storage capacity
• Altered nutrient cycling and microclimate
• Enhanced "edge effects"
• Increased weed and pest animal incursions
• Hyper-dynamism of fragment processes e.g. increased tree turnover rates
• Population isolation and genetic health decline/inbreeding
• and many more
