Receding Forest Edges and Vanishing Reserves
Abstract
Logging and the building of roads through forests results in their fragmentation. Around the perimeter of each forest fragment is an edge where ecological changes start to take place. Eventually, the edge effect leads to recession of the forest edges and diminution of the fragment until it disappears. As [Gascon and colleagues][1] explain in their Perspective, this worrying trend is a particular problem in tropical forests. The authors propose ways in which conservationists can prevent the loss of forest fragments (which are often protected areas surrounded by agricultural land) through carefully thought out conservation planning and management schemes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
