Abstract

In a recent opinion article, Mitchell et al. [1] propose to reframe fragmentation's effects on ecosystem services (ESs) by explicitly considering the effect of fragmentation not only on ES supply but also on ES flow. This new conceptual framework obviously represents a valuable first step towards a more robust theory linking landscape structure with ESs. However, we are concerned by three problems included in this framework on the effect of habitat fragmentation on ESs. We believe they undermine the framework currently proposed by Mitchell et al.
