Implications
for land management
This case study portrays the structural changes that have taken place in the wheatbelt of WA as a result of human activity, and is a good example of fragmentation of habitat in Australian landscapes. It is also a good illustration of the implications of altering landscape pattern on the ecosystem processes and flows operating within the landscape.
We are grateful to Richard Hobbs for allowing this project to be used as a case study and supplying information and photographs relevant to this project.
