Linear landscape elements such as hedgerows and road verges have the potential to
mitigate the adverse effects of habitat fragmentation and climate change on species, for …

Road verges should play a crucial role as a refuge for native flora and fauna in human
dominated landscapes. However, the influence of construction choices, such as plantation of …

Plant species composition and species number were studied in two types of field margins:
31 arable field margins and 33 road verges. Both field margin types were adjacent to …

Hedgerows have been proposed as habitat and conservation corridor for forest plant
species, but their importance for the survival of these species is still not clear. The objective …

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of contrasting agricultural practices in
organic and conventional farming (local factors), and to evaluate the influence of …

Increasing connectivity among habitat patches is assumed to mitigate the effects of
fragmentation on biodiversity, leading to the emergence of green and blue infrastructures in …

Woody linear features of farmlands have received much attention as pools of diversity in
European countries, but they have, in comparison, been little considered in eastern North …

Understanding the determinants of hedgerow plant diversity in agricultural landscapes
remains a difficult task, because the potential drivers affect the complete range of …

Many attempts have been made to reduce the impact of modern conventional farming on the
environment and semi-natural ecosystems. One of them is organic farming, known primarily …

Questions Are hedgerows efficient corridors for forest‐dwelling species within agricultural
landscapes? Do time and space interact synergistically to enhance forest plant species …
