Theoretical frameworks and assumptions Topic: Habitat Fragmentation

Theoretical approaches

Habitat fragmentation is a ubiquitous landscape pattern in cities, usually accompanied by habitat loss and isolation. Natural causes such as biological invasions and fires may also cause fragmentation of the landscape. However, most of the fragmented landscape changes the land type due to the interference of human behaviour and eventually forms fragmented, island-like landscape fragments (Dramstad, WE, Olson, JD & Forman, 1996, p. 41).

The fragmentation of habitat can help some fields, but excessive fragmentation will only have a negative impact. (Haddad et al., 2015, p.7). A large amount of experimental data shows that scattered habitats will lead to the continuous deterioration of the ecosystem, reduce the persistence and abundance of species, and reduce the nutrition and other serious environmental problems of the habitat (Haddad et al., 2015, p.5). The fragmentation of habitats will also lead to many climate disasters, such as floods and land areas becoming "oceans".
