ecotopical.comMore trees can mean fewer birds, new study reveals
Trees planted to protect farmland from wind may not be the biodiversity boost many assume. In Japan’s wetland farming landscapes, shelterbelts benefited some birds but sharply reduced grassland and wetland species that need open space. Researchers found grassland bird abundance dropped by more than 70% near shelterbelts.
A recent study by researchers at Hiroshima University suggests that trees planted in agricultural areas may not benefit bird biodiversity as previously thought. The research, focused on agricultural landscapes in Japan, reveals that the presence of vegetation can benefit some bird species but harm others that depend on open environments. Impact of trees on bird biodiversity: Trees, frequently used as windbreaks in agricultural areas, are seen as…
