Breidbart Index

The Breidbart Index is a measure used in the field of ecology to quantify the degree of habitat fragmentation within a given area. It assesses how fragmented or continuous a landscape is by considering factors such as the size, shape, and arrangement of habitat patches. A higher Breidbart Index indicates a more fragmented landscape, while a lower index suggests a more continuous habitat. This index can help conservationists and ecologists evaluate the effects of development, land use changes, or natural disturbances on ecosystems and biodiversity.
