About this book

Using more than 30 years research from the author team at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU), Wildlife Conservation on Farmland, Volume 1: Managing for Nature in Lowland Farms reveals how agricultural systems and wildlife interact, presenting examples from scales varying from landscape to microcosm, from populations to individuals, covering plants, invertebrates, birds, and mammals. It demonstrates the essential ecosystem services provided by agricultural land, and discusses the implications of agricultural development for natural habitats and biodiversity.
