Synopsis: This study investigated the magnitude of change in landscape structure resulting from road and logging since the onset of timber harvesting in 1950. Overall, roads were found to have had a greater impact on landscape structure than logging. A three-fold increase in road density between 1950 and 1993 accounted for most of the changes in landscape configuration including mean patch size, edge density, and core area. Change in landscape structure varied as a function of landscape extent. At a large scale of 228,000 ha, change in landscape change over time was trivial, suggesting that the landscape is capable of incorporating disturbances with minimal impact. At intermediate scales of 1000-10,000 ha, change...
