Talk:Forest fragmentation

Merge from Rainforest collapse?
Forest fragmentation and Rainforest collapse are short articles, the topics overlap, and the main reference for this article is about rainforest collapse, so it may be appropriate to merge them. Peter E. James (talk) 17:18, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. This makes sense. Regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 10:58, 19 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what to do with the rainforest collapse article - it's mostly about something that may have happened in the Carboniferous. Guettarda (talk) 13:11, 19 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge "Rainforest Collapse" with "Ecological collapse" (unless we can find much more verifiable content). I don't think it's innately unreasonable to have seperate articles on rainforest collapse or forest fragmentation. We need more examples or more useful generalizations to justify an article, though. The content of the current article on rainforest collapse could be covered with "Rainforest collapse was a form of ecological collapse. There was a Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse, and there are fears of a modern rainforest collapse due to anthropogenic forest fragmentation, a form of habitat fragmentation"; but it would require the reader to wade through more material. For that matter, this forest fragmentation article doesn't say much that isn't in the article on habitat fragmentation, although it could be extended. HLHJ (talk) 14:48, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

This article needs a lead photograph and more content
Also, needs more to talk about than amazon fragmentation in the carboniferous.... what about island biogeography.... and the effects of insect pests, and agricultural fragmentation.... or is this topic really a subset of all these other topics and should be included there.... or ....
