Piecing together the fragments: elucidating edge effects on forest carbon dynamics

Piecing together the fragments: elucidating edge effects on forest carbon dynamics

Forest fragmentation is pervasive throughout the world's forests, impacting growing conditions and carbon (C) dynamics through edge effects that produce gradients in microclimate, biogeochemistry, and stand structure. Despite the majority of global forests being
