The growth of energy consumption demands a large expansion of transmission line (TL)
networks worldwide. The reduction of the environmental impacts of these infrastructures will …

Low-impact seismic (LIS) techniques were developed to reduce the environmental footprint
of oil exploration. Though relatively narrow (∼ 2–3 m) and constructed with light-weight …

Edge disturbance can affect forest vegetation and soil properties, causing shifts in plant
community structure. We investigated how linear forest edges influence tree community …

Understanding the ecological impacts of human disturbances is essential for the formulation
of conservation strategies. This study aimed to investigate if unpaved trails (with about 5 to 6 …

Forest edge effects promote striking microclimatic shifts that result in greater light exposure,
increased air temperature and evapotranspiration rates, and reduced soil moisture can alter …

This study aims to detect the composition, abundance patterns, and successional stage
distributions exhibited by arboreal species inside and at the linear edge of a submontane …

Although impacts generated by gaps can affect vegetation, few studies have addressed
these impacts in the Atlantic Forest. Our aim was to investigate the effects of pathways of …

Forest loss and fragmentation change the dynamics and structure of remnant populations,
ultimately affecting key processes with implications for ecosystem functioning. Fruit …

The individual identification of animals is essential for long-term population ecology studies.
Injuries and tag loss can negatively impact animal welfare and parameter estimates. We …

The study determined linear edge effects on liana and tree community assemblages in moist
semi-deciduous (Afram Headwaters Forest Reserve) and upland evergreen (Tano Offin …
