Effects of crop management at the landscape scale on biodiversity : a review and research perspectives
Agricultural activity, through farming practices and landscape changes, is an important driver ofbiodiversity and ecosystem service provision. While the relationship between land-use and biodiversityis widely studied, few studies consider the "hidden" heterogeneity of agricultural landscapes representedby crop management. Indeed, most species living in agroecosystems are affected by the intensity andspatial distribution of farming practices, which can be as—or even more—influential as the diversity ofcrops and non-crop habitats. The objective of our review is to assess 1) how crop management wasdescribed at the landscape scale and 2) the estimated effects on biodiversity and potential of ec…
Forecast the response of forest birds to climate change and forest management: does citizen science data provide accurate predictions?
In the context of global changes and biodiversity mass extinction, species distribution models (SDMs) are of major importance for conservation and management. In particular, such models can be used for mapping spatial distribution of endangered species and forecasting their response to climate and land-use change. In Sweden, intensive forestry has caused a strong decline of forest biodiversity. Climate change is also expected to cause range contractions for northern-boreal species which are at the limit of their range boundaries. As SDMs require a large amount of data, ideally collected over large spatial and temporal scales, citizen science based on volunteer reporting of species can const…
