Habitat fragmentation is a major threat to biodiversity. Understanding how to enhance connectivity in highly fragmented landscape is crucial for wild fauna conservation. Here we investigate the habitat value of unmanaged forest patches, agro-forestry plantations and tree rows for two woodland species (Great Spotted Woodpecker and Green Woodpecker) in the fragmented lowland landscape of province of Pavia (Northern Italy). Distance sampling method was used to calculate densities of woodpeckers. Areas with high density of rows and unmanaged forest areas showed higher density of Great Spotted Woodpeckers. Density of Green Woodpeckers was similar in agro-forestry and unmanaged forest areas.

Abstract
Habitat fragmentation is a major threat to biodiversity. Understanding how to enhance connectivity in highly fragmented landscape is crucial for wild fauna conservation. Here we investigate the habitat value of unmanaged forest patches, agro-forestry plantations and tree rows for two woodland species (Great Spotted Woodpecker and Green Woodpecker) in the fragmented lowland landscape of province of Pavia (Northern Italy). Distance sampling method was used to calculate densities of woodpeckers. Areas with high density of rows and unmanaged forest areas showed higher density of Great Spotted Woodpeckers. Density of Green Woodpeckers was similar in agro-forestry and unmanaged forest areas.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
