Recent research has demonstrated that landscape fragmentation causes biodiversity loss. Our main objective was to evaluate the landscape fragmentation by analyzing land use and land cover (LULC) change in the Subcarpathian area, during the post-communist period. We used the spatial data from the EEA CORINE Land cover database (CLC 1990 and CLC 2012) to calculate six landscape metrics in the Patch Analyst 4 (Grid) software, in order to express the modifications in size, composition, spatial distribution of patches ...
