Modelling the effects of irrigation schemes on the distribution of steppe birds in Mediterranean farmland (2004, unknown): “While a mosaic of different herbaceous habitats has been shown to benefit several steppe species (Salamolard et al. 1996; Wolff et al. 2001), a mosaic of suitable and unsuitable habitats at small spatial scales may be a landscape of poor value for steppe birds.”
Post‐war changes in arable farming and biodiversity in Great Britain (2002, background): “…in a similar way; however, those in southern and eastern Europe are more often affected by loss of unimproved habitat (Schifferli 2000; Donald, Green & Heath 2001), and numbers of little bustard Tetrax tetrax L. have increased with low-intensity cultivation of steppe habitats (Wolff et al. 2001).”
How effective are European agri‐environment schemes in conserving and promoting biodiversity? (2003, background): “Generally, biodiversity levels are higher in extensively farmed areas (Wolff et al. 2001; Dullinger et al. in press).”
