The cultivation of energy crops can cause land-use conflicts, including loss of biodiversity in farmlands. In ourstudy, we focus on farmland birds and analyse whether the impacts of such bioenergy activities differ for birdspecies with different ecology. We do this by comparing the impacts on four e...
