Economic geography, forest distribution, and woodpecker diversity in Central Europe

Article Abstract:

Woodpecker diversity shows a negative correlation with urbanization in a study of 20 central European countries. Treating woodpecker diversity as an indicator of biodiversity, a causal link is supported between biodiversity declines and landscape degradation associated with technological development. Woodpecker species that depend on temperate forests are especially vulnerable to human-generated ecological changes.

A lot of misunderstanding and tension is prevailing regarding the science, values, environmental ethics, and public policy relevant to invasive species and the development of widely applicable risk-assessment protocol is a major challenge.
