Habitat Fragmentation Assessment Techniques for Biodiversity Surveyors: Field Methods and Analysis
Globally, habitat fragmentation has reduced average within-sample species richness by 13.6% and total abundance by 10.7% — but in the worst-affected habitats, those figures spike to a staggering 76.5% richness loss [1]. For biodiversity surveyors working on development sites, these numbers are not abstract statistics. They are the baseline reality that makes rigorous habitat fragmentation […]
