Detailed explanation-1: -The “edge effect, ‘’ where wildlife abundance is considered to be related to inherent beneficial aspects of edge, has been a major tenet of wildlife management of several decades. Some biologists have even referred to the “edge effect” as a fundamental concept in ecology.
Detailed explanation-2: -Increased availability of light to plants along the edges allows more plants to be supported (greater diversity) and increases productivity. Increased plant diversity increases herbivorous insects, which increases birds, and ultimately predators.
Detailed explanation-3: -In ecology, edge effect refers to changes in a population or community along the boundary of a habitat. A clear example of this is when an agricultural field meets a forest.
