Impact of organic agriculture on diversity and abundance of farmland birds in an arable landscape with hedges
A comparative study of breeding bird communities of organically and conventionally cultivated arable fields was carried out in northern Germany in 2005. The research was conducted on 40 pairs of fields (conventional/organic), which were selected with regard to similar field sizes and comparable boun...
