In science, fragmentation refers to the act or process of breaking a larger entity into smaller pieces or fragments. This term is commonly used in fields such as biology, ecology, geology, and physics to describe the breaking up of a structure or entity into smaller, disconnected parts. Fragmentation can have various effects on the ecosystem, environment, or system in which it occurs, and these effects can be both positive and negative. In biology, for example, habitat fragmentation can lead to a loss of biodiversity and disrupted ecological processes. In geology, fragmentation can refer to the process of breaking rocks or soil into smaller particles.
