Sprawl creates and contributes to habitat loss,
fragmentation, pollution, and a host of other
environmental problems. This new collection
focuses on the impact of sprawl on biodiversity
and the measures that can be taken to alleviate
it. With contributions from leading biological
and social scientists, conservationists, and
land-use professionals, Nature in Fragments
examines the genesis of sprawl, its effect on
species, and the ways in which it alters natural
communities, ecosystems, and natural processes.
Issues discussed include the impact of sprawl on
freshwater ecosystems, the economics of
biodiversity in urbanizing landscapes, building
public awareness of the impact of sprawl,
conserving biodiversity through better-informed
planning, and assessing the effectiveness of
conservation efforts.
The contributors illustrate the need to more
comprehensively integrate biodiversity issues,
concerns, and needs into the growing number of
antisprawl initiatives, including the "smart
growth" and "new urbanist" movements. By
combining scientific and public-policy
discussions, this collection enriches the efforts
of those working to create more sustainable human
environments.
