<plantfyi-glossary slug="habitat-fragmentation"></plantfyi-glossary>Definition
The division of large, continuous habitats into smaller, isolated patches by roads, agriculture, or urban development. Fragmentation reduces population sizes, limits gene flow, increases edge effects, and makes plant populations more vulnerable to extinction.
