After fragmentation, fragments were blunt-ended and phosophorylated at 5'-prime end using End-it Kit (Epicentre) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Five fragments were obtained after fragmentation, including each of the three query cyclic fragments that we wished to replace (Fig. 2b).
For example, in the same experimental landscape as the tropical tree study, beetles that were rare or had naturally fluctuating abundances were more likely than species with stable abundances to persist in forest fragments a decade after fragmentation [11].
Empirical studies on severely fragmented regions suggest that decades after fragmentation, forest edges located near human-modified areas exhibit the structure of early successional states, with lower biomass per area and higher mortality compared to non-edge areas.
We used a Dunnett's test to compare adjusted species richness of fragmented plots in each year after fragmentation to adjusted species richness of intact forest.
After fragmentation in the HCD cell the fragments were transferred via the C-trap to the Orbitrap and scanned out with resolution R = 7500.
After fragmentation, the 'A' adaptor was ligated to each fragment.
However, a survey at any given time after fragmentation could have found either higher or lower species richness in fragmented plots, relative to intact plots, simply by chance.
After fragmentation, each of the 10 samples was available in four different lengths: unfragmented, fragmented with target peak at 1500 bp, fragmented with target peak at 500 bp and fragmented with target peak at 150 bp.
Results clearly show that adverse edge-related changes to forest structure and function persist up to two decades after fragmentation.
