“Issues of landscape fragmentation and patch connectivity are a concern in conservation biology (Forman and Godron 1986) – statement of opinion, not of scientific fact. Hann et al. (1998) found that when land use, ecosystem health, and species diversity are out of balance with inherent disturbance processes and biophysical capabilities, the landscape ecosystem tends toward unbalance. Hemstrom et al. (2001) concluded that past types and levels of human use have caused extensive changes and have run counter to the historical ecological conditions.â€
