ResumoIn recent years, biologists have come to realize that one of the most important consequences of forest fragmentation is a dramatic increase in the amount of habitat edge 1 Janzen D.H.

Although certain game species benefit from habitat ecotones, mounting evidence reveals that the abrupt, artificial edges created by forest fragmentation negatively affect many forest species and ecological processes 1 Janzen D.H.
