At what spatial scale do high-quality habitats enhance the diversity of forbs and pollinators in intensively farmed landscapes?

Résumé

Over the last decades, biodiversity in agricultural landscapes has declined drastically. Initiatives to enhance biodiversity, such as agri-environment schemes, often have little effect, especially in intensively farmed landscapes. The effectiveness of conservation management may be improved by scheme implementation near high-quality habitats that can act as a source of species. We evaluated up to what distance high-quality habitats (nature reserves and artificially created flower-rich patches) affect the diversity of forbs and pollinators in intensively farmed landscapes of the Netherlands.

Concepts associés (19)

Fragmentation (écologie)

La notion de fragmentation ou de morcellement des écosystèmes / des habitats / écopaysagère(er) / écologique englobe tout phénomène artificiel de morcellement de l'espace, qui peut ou pourrait empêcher une ou plusieurs espèces de se déplacer comme elles le devraient et le pourraient en l'absence de facteur de fragmentation. Avec le concept d'hétérogénéité, celui de fragmentation est une des bases théoriques de l'écologie du paysage. La notion de fragmentation concerne uniquement le phénomène de morcellement, sans perte de surface.

Habitat conservation

Habitat conservation is a management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitats and prevent species extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. It is a priority of many groups that cannot be easily characterized in terms of any one ideology. For much of human history, nature was seen as a resource that could be controlled by the government and used for personal and economic gain. The idea was that plants only existed to feed animals and animals only existed to feed humans.

Landscape-scale conservation

Landscape-scale conservation is a holistic approach to landscape management, aiming to reconcile the competing objectives of nature conservation and economic activities across a given landscape. Landscape-scale conservation may sometimes be attempted because of climate change. It can be seen as an alternative to site based conservation. Many global problems such as poverty, food security, climate change, water scarcity, deforestation and biodiversity loss are connected.
