habitat-fragmentation
Habitat fragmentation occurs when a once-continuous landscape is broken into smaller, isolated patches by natural processes or human land use, disrupting the connectivity of plant populations. For plant science, this matters because reduced patch size and isolation can limit pollen and seed dispersal, lower genetic diversity, and increase local extinction risk, ultimately reshaping reproductive success and long-term population viability. Studying these effects helps researchers understand how fragmented landscapes influence plant adaptation, gene flow, and conservation strategies.
