“…The "bisection" sequence begins by removal of a central strip of the initial habitat type, followed by removal of parallel strips on both sides as conversion proceeds. This is a typical sequence observed after a road is built and subsequent development occurs along the road (Schonewald-Cox and Buechner 1992, Forman 1995, Forman and Hersperger 1996. The "fragmentation" sequence entails the division of the initial habitat type into nine, equal-sized patches which progressively became smaller.…”

“…The work concentrated mostly on reports of original investigations rather than reviews (apart from the following: Leedy (1978), Watkins (1981), Gilbert (1989), Andrews (1990), Aanen et al . (1991), Bennett (1991), Atkinson & Cairns (1992), Schonewald‐Cox & Buechner (1992), Ramsay (1994), Edmunds (1995), Forman (1995), Noss (1995), Southerland (1995), and Environmental Resources Management (1996)). The conclusions in this paper are generalizations based on the author's interpretation of those original reports.…”

“…(1984) for a good overview) and this range seems to have resulted in less than comprehensive studies for some specific pollutants. The extent to which emissions and disturbances extend from a road have been researched by some authors (see Schonewald‐Cox & Buechner (1992) for a review). For example, above normal traces of heavy metals have been recorded in plants up to 150 m from roads.…”

“…Andrews (1990) has written an extensive review about roads and habitat fragmentation. An extensive summary of some major effects of landscape fragmentation on sensitive species or systems, particularly as determined by roads within parks, has been provided by Schonewald‐Cox & Buechner (1992).…”

This survey of the literature on the ecological effects of roads and traffic revealed many articles published over many years in peer reviewed journals. There has also been a growing number of reports on the ecological effects of roads produced by government authorities. Whereas few reports have been published on assessing the ecological impacts, there has been a rapidly growing number of reports on methods for mitigation. Gaps in research include the effects of heavy metal accumulation and the processes and effects resulting from habitat fragmentation. There is a need to assess the effectiveness of underpasses and tunnels and the nature and functioning of buffer zones. A literature database has been assembled and is being updated.
