Mixed biodiversity benefits of agri-environment schemes in five European countries. (2006, background): “Over the last few decades, agricultural changes aimed at making farming more cost-effective have had accelerating adverse effects on wildlife (Donald et al. 2001; Benton et al. 2002).”
The effect of ‘mosaic management’ on the demography of black‐tailed godwit Limosa limosa on farmland (2008, background): “Throughout Europe, biodiversity is declining in agricultural landscapes (Donald, Green & Heath 2001; Benton et al. 2002; Flade et al. 2006) including lowland wet grasslands which form the habitat of a formerly rich and diverse breeding bird community (Beintema, Dunn & Stroud 1997; Wilson, Ausden &…”
Indirect effects of pesticides on breeding yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) (2005, background): “Some of these have undergone long-term decreases (Benton et al., 2002), although evidence for trends on farmland is limited (Aebischer, 1991).”
Impact of habitat management on grey partridge populations: assessing wildlife cover using a multisite BACI experiment (2004, background): “biodiversity through effects on habitat and food resources (Chamberlain et al. 2000; Benton et al. 2002; Benton, Vickery & Wilson 2003).”
Decomposing trends in Swedish bird populations using generalized additive mixed models (2016, background): “2000; Benton et al. 2002). Nonlinear trend estimates can reveal more information about population change than linear estimates. For instance, they may be more effective in picking up a recent decline in a population and be less sensitive to the time window over which the trend is computed. This is b”
More than 75 percent decline over 27 years in total flying insect biomass in protected areas (2017, neutral): “Agricultural intensification, including the disappearance of field margins and new crop protection methods has been associated with an overall decline of biodiversity in plants, insects, birds and other species in the current landscape [20, 27, 67].”
Effects of vineyard management on biodiversity at three trophic levels (2010, background): “High levels of disturbance by agricultural management are usually negative for biodiversity (Donald et al., 2000; Tilman et al., 2001; Benton et al., 2002; Robinson and Sutherland, 2002; Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005).”
Biodiversity and extinction (2007, positive): “Declines in insect abundance have been implicated as causal factors in the losses of many farmland bird populations (Benton et al., 2002), and in some cases insect declines are at least partly a consequence of larval foodplant decline (eg, common blue butterfly Polyommatus icarus and its foodplant…”
