ICE Personnel Publish in Landscape Ecology journal

   • 

James Thorne, Ryan Boynton and fellow ESP and Plant Sciences colleagues Fraser Shilling and Alison Berry, publish in the Landscape Ecology Journal.  Their publication, Fragmentation of China's landscape by roads and urban areas, came out in February.  It is a collaborative study  with Taian Li, Fengmin Li, and Heidi Schott that takes a look at how roads, railways, and urban development are disconnecting China's landscape and suggest that the evaluation of ecological fragmentation be integrated into future road system planning.
