Definición

  • Ecosystem decay is a term coined by the conservation biologist Thomas Lovejoy to describe the process by which species become locally extinct and ecosystem functions deteriorate following habitat fragmentation. The term has become synonymous with an ongoing, ambitious study of ecosystem decay in the Amazon rain forest, initiated by Lovejoy and colleagues in the 1980s.
