I have a large dataset of habitat classes which I have further simplified down into my own unique classes.
However, it resulted in there being habitats adjacent to each other with the same forest classification system.
Is there any way to join these two (or however many there are touching that are classed as the same type) adjacent polygons into a single larger polygon?
When I use the tool Dissolve, it takes all of the habitats of the same class for the entire map and creates a single polygon.

Try the Dissolve tool. From the help:
To avoid creating multi-part features, uncheck the "Create multipart features" box.
