"This book provides an excellent synthesis of conservation
practices...The book has insightfully blended constructive concepts
supported by well-recognised models and case studies on how to
manage agricultural production and biodiversity...I strongly
recommend this brilliant book to students, scientists, managers,
policymakers and politicians engaging in biodiversity conservation
in the agricultural landscape globally." Journal of Nature
Conservation More intensive, monocultural agriculture has been
associated with a decline in diversity of habitat and plant species
which leads to corresponding declines in diversity of insect, bird
and mammal species. There is mounting evidence that a more
biodiverse landscape improves ecosystem services which benefits
farmers. Reconciling agricultural production with biodiversity
conservation provides an authoritative review of current
biodiversity conservation practices, including field margins,
agroforestry systems, hedgerows and improved pasture and grassland
management. The collection additionally summarises the theoretical
framework that underpins biodiversity conservation in agriculture,
dedicating chapters to key developments in areas such as landscape
approaches, mapping and modelling diversity, as well as ways of
assessing the economic value of biodiversity conservation
practices.
