I think this question does not seems plain enough.

This work may be of interest to you:

The main parameter is forest cover or area of forest cover removed because of disturbance :)

Hi Dharmalingam,

I think you should clarify a little bit your interest in disturbances. I guess the location is obviously set - the tropical forest (fragmented tropical forest), but you should be more specific on your main focus. We could speak about natural or anthropogenic disturbances, but we could also focus on different aspects such as frequency/return interval or magnitude/severity of disturbance. We could also categorize disturbances based on their targeted structures or effects.

For now, I can provide you a list of the most important papers that cover your topic:
