Adverse effects of agricultural intensification and climate change on breeding habitat quality of Black- tailed Godwits Limosa l. limosa in the Netherlands (2010, background): “How changing farming practices affect the quality of the breeding habitat has been well-examined for a number of arable species in the UK, such as Grey Partridge Perdix perdix (Potts & Aebischer 2008) and Skylark Alauda arvensis (Donald et al. 2002).”
