What is Habitat Fragmentation? The Process of Habitat Fragmentation ... Fragmentation occurs when a large region of habitat has been broken down, or fragmented, into a collection of smaller patches of habitat. Fragmentation typically occurs when land is converted from one type of habitat to another.

To define habitat fragmentation, it is first necessary to review current understanding of how habitat is defined, and to contrast fragmentation and heterogeneity. FRAGMENTATION--THE HABITAT CONCEPT Prior to understanding fragmentation of habitat, the term habitat must be properly defined and understood.

In addition to wholesale habitat destruction, many habitats are being negatively affected by fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation not only reduces the area of available habitat but also can isolate populations and increase edge effects.

HABITAT FRAGMENTATION VERSUS HETEROGENEITY ... Habitat fragmentation can immediately cause a loss of species which are endemic to portions of the landscape which are destroyed. Remember the patchyness of the environment. If all patches of a certain type are removed, any species requiring that patch type will go extinct.
