- W1560458082 abstract "Forests all around the world have been fragmented into small patches, andforest structure and species composition have been influenced by this fragmentation and habitat loss. Reduction of habitat has been described as one of themain causes of diminishing biological diversity in the tropics (Hill and Curran,2001; Ross et al, 2002; Santos et al, 2007). Dry Afromontane forests in thenorthern Ethiopian highlands represent a particular case in this respect.Extensive deforestation in the Ethiopian highlands has led to small and isolatedforest patches around churches and in poorly accessible mountain areas andthese patches are located within a landscape matrix of intensively used agricultural land. The thousands of church forests in the dry Ethiopian mountains canbe considered a special case of sacred groves, traditionally managed small forestpatches with considerable potential for conservation (Bhagwat and Rutte,2006). While the highly fragmented Ethiopian highland landscape is centuriesold (McCann, 1997; Boerma, 2006), in some areas fragmentation is still increasing (Bekele, 2003). Zeleke and Hurni (2001), for instance, used remote sensingcombined with field verification to show that in Gojam at 1800-2800m altitudethe Afromontane forest cover reduced from 27 per cent in 1957 via 2 per centin 1982 to 0.3 per cent in 1995. Most conversion was to agricultural land. Manyremaining church forest patches are also currently declining in area and havebeen degrading over the last decades (Bingelli et al, 2003; Wassie et al, 2005aand b; Aerts et al, 2006b). Understanding the factors that influence patterns ofspecies and structural composition in fragmented systems may be critical toconserving the remaining forests (Turner, 1996; Ewers and Didham, 2006)." @default.
