abstract = "Hedgerows are linear structures found in agricultural landscapes
that may facilitate dispersal of plants and animals and also serve
as habitat. The aim of this study was to investigate the
relationships among diversity and ecological traits of woody
plants, hedgerow characteristics (size, age, and origin), and the
structure of the surrounding Atlantic Forest landscape. Field data
were collected from 14 hedgerows, and landscape metrics from
1000-m buffers surrounding hedgerows were recorded from a thematic
map. In all sampled hedgerows, arboreal species were predominantly
zoochoric and early-succession species, and hedgerow width was an
important factor explaining the richness and abundance of this
group of species. Connection with forest vegetation did not
explain richness and abundance of animal-dispersed species, but
richness of non-zoochoric species increased in more connected
hedgerows. These results suggest that hedgerows are probably
colonized by species arriving from nearby early-succession sites,
forest fragment edges, and isolated trees in the matrix.
Nonetheless, hedgerows provide resources for frugivorous animals
and influence landscape connectivity, highlighting the importance
of these elements in the conservation of biodiversity in
fragmented and rural landscapes.",
