Landscape Fragmentation Assessment Using a Single Measure. Bogaert, J., van Hecke, P., Salvador-Van Eysenrode, D., & Impens, I. 28(4):875–881. abstract bibtex Measurement of fragmentation is crucial for determining its consequences and to develop policy for nature conservation. We propose a fragmentation measure |Φ| which combines, using a multidimensional Euclidean distance, 4 main characteristics of frag-mented landscapes: total habitat area, total habitat perimeter, number of patches, and patch isolation. Its properties can be summarized as: 1) |Φ| reflects the overall fragmen-tation status; 2) every component of |Φ| is accepted as a measure of fragmentation; 3) every component of |Φ| is a normalized variable; 4) every component of |Φ| is easy to compute; 5) average patch size, interior habitat, and habitat connectedness are includ-ed indirectly in |Φ|; |Φ| is independent of the land-use type; and 7) |Φ| can be calcu-lated for raster and vector data. We show that the normalized values composing |Φ| pre-vent misinterpretation of features as fragment number or boundary length. A sensitivity analysis, based upon artificial patterns, showed that increasing fragmentation is correlat-ed with smaller values of |Φ|. Wildlife managers are encouraged to use |Φ| for objective evaluation of fragmented landscapes.
