Description
This state represents a full departure from the native reference state as a result of human-caused impacts. Urban sprawl and construction of roadways will increase susceptibility to non-native species, restrict natural disturbances, and reduce habitat.
Mechanism
This pathway represents human-influenced disturbance from urban sprawl or other development or from road construction. The plant community and habitat are diminished or completely lost.
