The impact and design of field margins in promoting biodiversity in agricultural landscapes

Code: 9781835452851
Jane Morrison, Bishop's University, Canada

Chapter synopsis:

Heterogeneous agroecosystems with diverse natural areas are more resilient than homogeneous landscapes. One way of achieving this is by creating field margins in order to establish a network of semi-natural vegetation across the landscape. Field margins support biodiversity within agricultural systems, offering a range of ecosystem services. This chapter reviews the ways field margins benefit biodiversity, their design, management and enhancement with seed mixes, as well as economic aspects.
