What is it about?
Despite the importance of tropical forest fragmentation on carbon balance, most of our knowledge comes from few sites in the Amazon and disregard long-term underlying processes related to landscape configuration. Accurate estimation of fragmentation effects should account for additive edge effects and edge age.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that in anthropic landscapes, natural regeneration will not lead to a primary forest structure, Amazon edge effects patterns do not apply to highly disturbed tropical forests.
