Sentence examples for human fragmentation from inspiring English sources

Ornithologists have long voiced concern over human fragmentation of forests.

However, this approach implicitly assumes that differences observed between landscapes are mainly the result of human fragmentation.

Finally, we discuss our results in the light of the cultural and historical status of the particular human fragmentation studied here (Fig. 1).

Nevertheless, we claim that effective population size cannot explain why the two intermediate-bodied species are the most impacted by human fragmentation.

Very interestingly, this demonstrates that human fragmentation has disturbed the initial balance between genetic drift and gene flow, and has constrained all these fish species in a similar population structure whereby an equilibrium between genetic drift and gene flow is attained (Raeymaekers et al. 2008).

Thus, our results support numerous studies on many animal species showing that human fragmentation modifies the genetic integrity of natural populations, notably in decreasing gene flow among populations and genetic diversity within the remnant population patch (e.g. Van den Bussche et al. 2003; Alo and Turner 2005; Trizio et al. 2005; Hoehn et al. 2007; Schiffer et al. 2007).

70% of the remaining forests are within 1 kilometer of forest edge due to human induced fragmentation.

Human-induced fragmentation affects forest continuity, i.e. availability of a suitable habitat for the target species over a time period.

Such maps enable development of strategic plans for sustainable forest management by identifying areas with high amounts of human-induced fragmentation, which improve risk assessments and enable better targeting for protection and remediation efforts.

Results also highlight the importance of analyzing human-induced fragmentation at a variety of selected sites and a range of spatial scales, and producing quality, accurate forest cover and change maps.

The European continent has suffered more human-induced fragmentation than any other (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2001).
