For example, if we see increasing development in the forest that causes the large, contiguous forest to be broken up into smaller and smaller fragments because of road construction or urban development, or whatever the purpose is, that may, in turn, increase the likelihood of forest tent caterpillar outbreaks.
Ainsi, le morcellement toujours plus grand des forêts continues en raison de la construction de routes ou du développement urbain pourrait à son tour favoriser les infestations de la livrée des forêts.
