You could try the 1999 publication available for download on NRDC's website. It
has summaries of various articles (from peer-reviewed journals primarily) about
the impacts of roads on wildlife in North American forest ecosystems. Here's
the link: http://www.nrdc.org/land/forests/roads/eotrinx.asp

"End of the Road
The Adverse Ecological Impacts of Roads and Logging: A Compilation of
Independently Reviewed Research"
Good luck,

Subject: road and disturbance
Dear All:
I am looking for literatures on the impacts of road or railway on
environment, especially the impacts on plant species diversity and the
spreading of invasive species. I know the Road Ecology by Richard Forman
is a good beginning. However, can anyone direct me to more recent and
related sources?
Thank you very much for your help.
