DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2464
Abstract: Mortality from collision with vehicles is the most visible impact of road traffic on wildlife. Mortality due to roads (hereafter road-kill) can affect the dynamic of populations of many species and can, therefore, increase the… read more here.

Wildfire effects on road surface erosion, deposition, and road–stream connectivity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4018
Abstract: High and moderate severity wildfires should increase sediment production from unpaved roads due to the increased surface runoff from upslope, and increase road-stream connectivity due to the decrease in downslope surface roughness as well as… read more here.
