State of the Landscape and Dynamics of Loss and Fragmentation of Forest Critically Endangered in the Tropical Andes Hotspot: Implications for Conservation Planning

Abstract: Currently, there is no precise information on the degree of transformation of Tropical Andes hotspot landscape and native ecosystems due to the intensification of agricultural and urban land-use. Proper knowledge of these changes would provide crucial information for planning conservation strategies. We evaluated the impact of the intensification of agricultural and urban land-use on the Inter-Andean Dry Forest and Tropical Montane Forest, both of which are categorized as Critically Endangered, and the state o… Show more

“…With the LVLF, the second-highest positive significance level 23 is associated with vegetation patch association or distance between vegetation patches, which is consistent with the findings of previous research [ 7 , 34 ]. Although earlier research has looked at the configuration factors to quantify the LVLF [ 3 , 88 , 89 ], this study considers them to be factors of vegetation land fragmentation, as the configuration of the vegetation patches always causes fragmentation. Therefore, the study contributes our understanding of how to account for patch-related factors when modeling the LVLF, which is another contribution to the existing knowledge Patch association, for example, is regarded as one of the drivers of vegetation fragmentation [ 89 ], although it is also considered one of the features of vegetation fragmentation in many studies.…”

“…Este software permite analizar los patrones espaciales a nivel de parche y clase. La elección del conjunto de métricas a utilizar se basó en la revisión de estudios del paisaje que expresaran de manera explícita su configuración espacial (Echeverría et al, 2006;Rodríguez-Echeverry et al, 2018;Rodríguez-Echeverry & Leiton, 2021a, 2021b. Evaluación del cambio del paisaje boscoso y su impacto en la distribución de Dipsas elegans en el norte de Ecuador…”

“…Esto pone en evidencia que en las últimas dos décadas se ha producido una importante fragmentación del bosque nativo debido al uso inadecuado del recurso En este estudio, el tamaño del parche disminuyó constantemente entre 1991, 2000 y 2017, evidenciándose un incremento dramático en el borde de los fragmentos de bosque nativo. La reducción progresiva de su tamaño es un indicador clave de la fragmentación del ecosistema y la pérdida de biodiversidad (Rodríguez-Echeverry et al, 2018;Rodríguez-Echeverry & Leiton, 2021b). Además, las especies tienen requisitos mínimos de tamaño de parche (Maiorano et al, 2019); por lo tanto, aquellos que son más pequeños contienen menos especies que los parches más grandes (Otavo & Echeverría, 2017).…”
