• W925346632 abstract "Land use type in the human dominated matrixsurrounding tropical forest can influence edge effects at theforest-matrix interface. Edge effects can alter ecologicalprocesses and impact the function of forest edge ecosystems. A keyecological process that helps maintain tropical forest and isaffected by forest disturbance is seed dispersal by large, fruiteating vertebrates (frugivores). This dissertation examines how thetype of vegetation in the matrix, the `soft’ edge contrast of pineplantations and the `hard’ edge contrast of tea plantations, affectseed dispersal behavior of large frugivores, and the structure andcomposition of tree species, in forest edge habitat. Research wasconducted in Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda, a protected arealocated in East and Central Africa. Focal tree observations wereconducted from December 2011 to September 2012 in forest edgesadjacent to two different matrix types and within the forestinterior. I recorded visitation frequency and seed removal offrugivores at large-seeded trees. For analysis, seed disperserswere divided into two groups, birds and primates. The response tomatrix type differed between disperser groups. Feeding visits bybirds were less common in forest edges adjacent to a tea planationmatrix, whereas feeding visits by primates were more common inedges adjacent to tea plantations. To explore the influence ofmatrix type and edge effects on tree species structure andcomposition, I sampled forest edges adjacent to the differentmatrix types and within the forest interior. The type ofsurrounding matrix influenced edge effects on forest structure andcomposition. I found evidence that a pine plantation matrixmitigated some of the adverse effects of edge on tree communities;tree communities in edges adjacent to tea plantations showed astronger response to edge effects. Overall, this study showsevidence that land use type in the human dominated matrix canaffect ecosystem function and the long-term persistence of somegroups of species. The study provides new knowledge on the impactof matrix type on plants, animals, and plant-animal interactions inthe edges of a large protected area and indicates the degree towhich human disturbance may alter ecologicalfunction." @default.
