Habitat fragmentation reduces the available habitat for a given ecosystem somewhat, but it primary impact is that is reduces the size of each continuous piece of habitat effectively dividing the ecosystem into many smaller independent ecosystems. Populations of organisms at which level would be most negatively impacted by this change? Explain your answer using you knowledge of how energy is processed through an ecosystem. *
