Effects of perennial wildflower strips and landscape structure on birds in intensively farmed agricultural landscapes

Annika Schmidt et al.

Summary: Farmland bird populations in Europe are experiencing a severe crisis. Agri-environment schemes, such as flower strips, have been implemented by the European Union to reverse the decline in biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Establishing high-quality perennial wildflower strips with native forb mixtures from regional seed propagation has been shown to be effective for promoting breeding birds. A survey conducted in Germany demonstrated that arable fields with wildflower strips had higher species richness and territory density of birds compared to control fields without wildflower strips.

Effects of wildflower strips, landscape structure and agricultural practices on wild bee assemblages-A matter of data resolution and spatial scale?

Niels Hellwig et al.

Summary: Agricultural systems in Central Europe have been redesigned in order to achieve maximum yields, resulting in homogeneous landscapes and habitat fragmentation. Perennial wildflower strips have been implemented as an agri-environmental measure to counteract these ecological consequences for wild bees and other pollinators. However, the effectiveness of these measures depends on the landscape context, and there is a lack of information about geodata sources and spatial scales relevant for analyzing landscape effects on wild bees.

Wildflower strips enhance wild bee reproductive success

Dominik Ganser et al.

Summary: Our study demonstrates that diverse wildflower strips can enhance the reproductive success of multiple solitary wild bee species, mitigating negative impacts of agricultural intensification by providing suitable floral resources and reducing foraging times. Smaller bee species benefit more from wildflower plantings compared to larger bee species.
