Extended Data Fig. 3: Changes of hillside habitat fragmentation globally within 3-km× 3-km grid cells.
From: Extensive terrestrial biodiversity threats from global hillside urban expansion
Mean patch size of hillside habitats in a, 2000, and b, 2020. c, Trends in habitat fragmentation from 2000-2020. Note: Grid cells without hillside urbanization are ignored. A higher MPS value indicates greater patch connectivity and a more intact ecosystem, while a lower value suggests severe landscape fragmentation, which may threaten species habitats.
