Answer:
Non-migratory animals and small herbivores
Explanation:
Habitat fragmentation is the process by which a previously continuous stretch of land becomes fragmented into smaller patches that are separated, causing the environment to be broken up, and to become discontinuous. For example, humans chopping down patches of trees in forests.
Animals that cannot freely move around (non-migratory mammals) will be most affected by this since they cannot simply move between the isolated pieces of land. Smaller herbivores will also be affected, because they generally do not freely move around and cover large spaces like large herbivores or predators.
The potato crop devastation occurred in Ireland for not using one single potato species.
Explanation:
Potato became the staple crop of 18th Century Ireland and was easy to grow in the soil of this place. Later, it became the most dependent crop of the people of Ireland which made its supply very demanding leading to the yielding of more than one species of potatoes.
This yielding reduced the variety in the genetics of potatoes that helped in preventing the disease that affect potatoes by making the Irish people susceptible to famine. The Phytopthora bacteria affected the potatoes of North America in the year 1840 and Ireland’s moist weather in that same year made the blight to thrive.
