Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “However, where crops become too dense (e.g. intensive winter wheat in the UK and in The Netherlands) numbers and success of second broods are reduced (Morris et al., 2004; Kragten et al., 2008).”
The future of agri‐environment schemes: biodiversity gains and ecosystem service delivery? (2011, background): “…that include managing landwithin the crop itself areparticularly unpopularwithmany farmers in England (e.g. see Butler, Vickery&Norris 2007 and references therein) even when some such ‘in-field’ options are shown to have clear and substantial benefits for biodiversity (e.g.Morris et al. 2004).”
Influence of agricultural management, sward structure and food resources on grassland field use, by birds in lowland England (2005, background): “At the within-field scale, management could be directed at margins (Haysom, McCracken & Foster 1999; Haysom et al. 2000, 2004; Vickery, Carter & Fuller 2002) or field centres (analogous to ‘skylark scrapes’ in arable systems; Morris et al. 2004).”
