             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.",
