Are Plant Species’ Richness and Diversity Influenced by Fragmentation at a Microscale?

Table 1

Description of the Land Use/Land Cover classes used during the classification analysis.

Land cover class	Description
(1) Coniferous forest	Forest patches dominated by coniferous plant species, mostly Pinus spp.
(2) Scattered vegetation	Mixed vegetation with a scattered distribution—shrubs and small trees
(3) Water	Water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs
(4) Nonconiferous forest	Forest patches dominated by nonconiferous plant species, as Quercus spp.
(5) Bare soil	Areas without vegetation, not water and not urban
(6) Agriculture	Crop fields, pastures
(7) Urban	Built-up land for residential or commercial purposes
