"The Tumut Fragmentation and yielded extensive data on changes in both plant and animal populations in areas of native forest and pine plantation. It is unique in the way that many different factors and processes influencing a wide range of species groups have been studied in the one large-scale natural experiment. Writing for academic researchers, professionals and graduate students, David B. Lindenmayer uses the Study and other relevant research to provide an overview of the relationships between landscape change, habitat fragmentation, and biodiversity conservation. He details the background ecology of landscape change and habitat fragmentation, the experimental design underpinning the establishment of the large-scale natural experiment, and the implementation of, and results from, an array of key and strongly contrasting research programs over the past 15 years. Key lessons are drawn on throughout the book on the design and implementation of large-scale ecological studies, biodiversity conservation in fragmented landscapes, and the management of plantation landscapes for enhanced nature conservation. The book highlights how important new insights can be generated from integrating demographic, genetic, and modeling research."--Jacket.
