Linear Land Uses (Roads, Power Lines, and Trails)

Relatively little data on the effects of roads and power lines on forest wildlife are available for amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates. More information specific to wildlife in southern forests is needed to allow for behavioral differences from one part of a species range to another.

The effect of forest trails on wildlife is better documented for plants than other taxa. More information is needed about wildlife in southern forests.
