Best Answer

It means cutting large continuous blocks of forest into small, disconnected fragments, usuallly as a result of logging or clearing for farmland or suburban sprawl. It has negative effects on the ecosystem as wildlife can not move around easily and greater pressure is put on species that depend on deep woods for survival.
