Effects of forest patch isolation on bird diversity

Forest fragmentation is known as forest patch, which is the breaking of large, contiguous, forested areas into smaller pieces. It is separated by roads, agriculture, man-made corridors, subdivisions, or other human development. Isolated populations in fragmented forest landscapes depend on immigrant...

This study revealed that bird abundance and species richness influenced by relative humidity, air temperature, season, location also dead tree abundance (standing and fallen). Overall, these significant parameters play an important role as the key habitat quality that influences bird abundance and species richness in an isolated forest. 2018 Project Paper Report NonPeerReviewed text en http://psasir.upm.edu.my/id/eprint/91343/1/FH%202018%2038%20IR.pdf Mohd Yasin, Nurul Azirah (2018) Effects of forest patch isolation on bird diversity.
