Anthropogenic disturbances are fragmenting forested areas around the world, fundamentally changing the structure of landscapes in a manner that has poorly understood consequences for biodiversity, ecological processes, and ecosystem services. This lack of understanding makes it difficult for land managers to make optimal decisions that balance environmental benefits and costs of land use change. In this thesis, I address this gap in our understanding by using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches to quantify how and when fragmentation affects ecosystem processes that have distinct impacts on forest ecosystem services. Specifically, I test the role that insect herbivory plays in mediating the effects of landscape structure on...
