TL;DR: In this article, a framework for considering compositional heterogeneity (the number and proportions of different cover types) and configurational heterogeneity, the spatial arrangement of cover types, is proposed.

TL;DR: A framework for solving the problem of to what extent biodiversity can be enhanced by altering landscape pattern without reducing agricultural production is proposed, considering separately compositional heterogeneity ( the number and proportions of different cover types) and configurational heterogeneity (the spatial arrangement of cover types).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed trends in agricultural management in order to quantify the degree of intensification, and have considered how they match change in the farmland bird community, and concluded that large shifts in agriculture management are a plausible explanation for the declines in farmland bird populations.

TL;DR: There is now a need to improve understanding of how grassland management affects bird population dynamics, and the interaction between predation rates and management-related changes in habitat is particularly important.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used extensive atlas and census data to assess trends in the distribution and population levels of birds on lowland farmland in Britain between the late 1960s and early 1990s.
