“…The amount of forest in the landscape has, indeed, also been found to be important for tree species richness, abundance and regeneration in forest patches (Benchimol et al., ; Rocha‐Santos et al., ). However, for a more comprehensive understanding of the processes affecting biodiversity in fragmented habitat systems, these theories need to be expanded to take into account other important factors affecting species richness (Haila, ; Laurance, ), such as local patch environment (Dupré & Ehrlén, ; Hodgson, Moilanen, Wintle, & Thomas, ; Kolb & Diekmann, ), patch heterogeneity (Honnay et al., ; Valdés et al., ; Wulf & Kolk, ), management regime (Lawesson et al., ; Liira, Jürjendal, & Paal, ) and landscape matrix (Buffa, Del Vecchio, Fantinato, & Milano, ; Kupfer, Malanson, & Franklin, ; Paal, Kütt, Lõhmus, & Liira, ).…”
