Synopsis
This attractively illustrated book reviews the effects of agricultural development on bird populations in Britain. Examining modern farmland as a bird habitat, it explains the changes, both in habitat structure and in available resources, that have occurred as a result of mechanisation and use of agrochemicals. Farmland bird communities are described, and their composition related to farm structure and land use. Based extensively on empirical data extracted from the British Trust for Ornithology's Common Bird Census and from nest histories recorded in the BTO'S Nest Record Scheme, the book presents an important analysis of the position of agricultural bird populations under modern farming systems. Particular examination has been made of the impact of changing methods, rotations and crops, which have been underestimated in the past. Resulting from the co-operation between a professional ornithologist and a working cereal farmer, this book provides an objective and informed view of the impact of British agriculture on bird populations.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Softcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> It is well known that farming can affect birds by altering the structure of farmland-by clearing woodland, removing or planting hedges, by filling in or creating ponds, and so on. Yet different ways of operating a farm can also influence its bird populations, even without any change in the farming landscape. The literature on farmland birds over the last three decades has been dominated by pesticides and habitat destruction (partic-ularly loss of hedgerows) but agriculture has meanwhile become an industry dominated by technical innovation and resulting changes in management regimes, a factor which has been much underestimated in considering conservation on farmland. Concern over pesticides generated an extensive programme of research into the environmental effects of agrochemicals and eventually gave rise to the Pesticides Safety Precautions Scheme. In this, the agrochemicals industry accepts independent scrutiny to ensure that there will be no possibility of environmental hazard in newly developed chemicals. Despi.
