Defining specialism and functional species groups in birds: First steps toward a farmland bird indicator

David Anthony Kirk, Katherine Hébert, Kathryn E. Freemark Lindsay, Elena Kreuzberg

Although farmland birds are used extensively in Europe as an indicator group to assess agricultural impacts on ecosystems, no such group has been formally identified in North America. Here we present a hierarchical framework to identify a suite of farmland bird species …

Configurational crop heterogeneity increases within‐field plant diversity

Audrey Alignier, Xavier Oriol Solé-Senan, Irene Robleño, Bárbara Baraibar et autres

Abstract Increasing landscape heterogeneity by restoring semi‐natural elements to reverse farmland biodiversity declines is not always economically feasible or acceptable to farmers due to competition for land. We hypothesized that increasing the heterogeneity of the crop mosaic itself, hereafter referred to as …

Organic farming benefits birds most in regions with more intensive agriculture

David Anthony Kirk, Amanda E. Martin, Kathryn E. Freemark Lindsay

Abstract Organic farming is considered beneficial for biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes but the role of agricultural land use intensity (‘agricultural intensity’), particularly at regional scales, has often been neglected. We used breeding season bird abundance estimates from paired organic‐conventional fields in …

Effects of farmland heterogeneity on biodiversity are similar to—or even larger than—the effects of farming practices

Amanda E. Martin, Sara J. Collins, Susie Crowe, Judith Girard et autres

Pressure to increase food production to meet the demands of a growing human population can make conservation-motivated recommendations to limit agricultural expansion impractical. Therefore, we need to identify conservation actions that can support biodiversity without taking land out of production. Previous studies …

Increasing crop heterogeneity enhances multitrophic diversity across agricultural regions

Clélia Sirami, Nicolas Gross, Aliette Bosem Baillod, Colette Bertrand et autres

Agricultural landscape homogenization has detrimental effects on biodiversity and key ecosystem services. Increasing agricultural landscape heterogeneity by increasing seminatural cover can help to mitigate biodiversity loss. However, the amount of seminatural cover is generally low and difficult to increase in many intensively …

An integrated decision-support process for adaptation planning: climate change as impetus for scenario planning in an agricultural region of Canada

Ruth Waldick, Lívia Bíziková, Denis White, Kathryn E. Freemark Lindsay

The amount of information required to adapt to climate change is vast: downscaled climate projections, information on environmental impact, sectoral performance, external drivers, regional strategies, policies and practices. It can be argued that most of this information is accessible at the community/regional …

Relative effects of landscape‐scale wetland amount and landscape matrix quality on wetland vertebrates: a meta‐analysis

Pauline E. Quesnelle, Kathryn E. Freemark Lindsay, Lenore Fahrig

Conservation management of wetland-dependent species generally focuses on preserving or increasing wetland habitat. However, the quality of the landscape matrix (the intervening non-wetland portion of the landscape) has been shown to be more important than wetland availability for some wetland-dependent species. We …
