  • Abstract in English : Habitat loss and isolation associated with land conversion for human activities pose perhaps the most severe threat to the earth’s biological diversity. Because the study of habitat fragmentation provides an important link between the concepts of landscape ecology and the practice of landscape architecture and planning, this research focused on the ecological consequences of changes in spatial characteristics of native habitats.
