Lorsqu'un habitat est morcelé en de petits «îlots» séparés les uns des autres, nous sommes en présence d'un phénomène appelé «fragmentation de l'habitat». [...] Ce morcellement représente un obstacle à la survie des espèces qui dépendent d'un type d'habitat particulier, parce qu'elles y sont confinées et qu'elles ne peuvent pas survivre ailleurs. 4, record 1, French, - fragmentation%20d%27habitat

Because most ores as mined contain more than one species of mineral, the first step in the general scheme of ore treatment is to free them from an interlocked state physically by comminution--a process that includes the breaking down of the ore to fine powders ... As a rule, comminution begins by dry crushing the ore to below a certain size and finishes by wet or dry grinding to liberate the minerals from the unwanted gangue. 5, record 4, English, - comminution

La fragmentation des solides dans le cadre de l'enrichissement des minerais groupe un ensemble de techniques ayant pour but de réduire, par action mécanique externe, et parfois interne, un solide, de volume donné, en éléments de volume plus petit. Elle a pour but de libérer, dans le matériau hétérogène que constitue généralement une roche, les éléments valorisables, des minéraux de la gangue, ou de réduire une matière minérale donnée à des dimensions dictées par l'utilisation. Outre ces objectifs primordiaux, la fragmentation peut avoir pour but de réduire la matière à des dimensions facilitant sa manutention et son conditionnement [...] 5, record 4, French, - fragmentation
