Ecological Effects of Roads: A review
Grimsö Wildlife Research Station
- N/A
Habitat fragmentation due to transport infrastructure is receiving growing concern among ecologists and civil engineers. Much data has been gathered that gives evidence of the complex impact of infrastructure on wildlife and landscapes. Roads, railroads, and their traffic disrupt ecological processes; increase mortality in animals, lead to a degradation, loss and isolation of wildlife habitat, and cause a fragmentation of the landscape in a literal sense. Despite the quantity of empirical studies, it is still difficult to draw general conclusions or define impact thresholds that could guide evaluation work.
