Landscape-moderated importance of hedges in conserving farmland bird diversity of organic vs. conventional croplands and grasslands
P Batáry, T Matthiesen, T Tscharntke - Biological Conservation, 2010 - Elsevier
Hedges provide important nesting, feeding and sheltering sites for birds in agricultural
areas, while organic farming also enhances farmland birds. However, it is little known how …

Villages and their old farmsteads are hot spots of bird diversity in agricultural landscapes
To counteract the decline of farmland biodiversity in Europe, it is crucial to recognize
habitats that are hot spots. Old rural settlements (eg villages) may be such important …
