The fragmentation of habitats associated with urbanisation poses a significant threat to already vulnerable and endangered mammal species. While the county of Dorset has been identified as one of the UK’s biodiversity hotspots, it is characterised by large-scale urbanisation and intensive agriculture. ...
Forests and wetlands act as natural barriers against floods and storms. 4. Support for Ecosystems Plants form the base of the food chain. Herbivores eat plants, and carnivores depend on herbivores for food. This balance ensures biodiversity. Additional...
