Overview
abstract
Land fragmentation and human development have dramatically altered wildland habitats throughout the urban interface area. The introduction of exotic and ornamental plant species associated with these two processes has had a negative impact on the ecological productivity of these areas. These human-created and -dominated landscapes do not support functioning ecosystems and further deplete natural habitats that are vital to native wildlife.
