A cross-taxonomic index for quantifying the health of farmland biodiversity
Butler, Simon J.; Brooks, David; Feber, Ruth E.; Storkey, Jonathan; Vickery, Juliet A.; Norris, Ken (2009-12)1. The development of sustainable, multi-functional agricultural systems involves reconciling the needs of agricultural production with the objectives for environmental protection, including biodiversity conservation. ... -
Effects of the proportion and spatial arrangement of un-cropped land on breeding bird abundance in arable rotations
Henderson, Ian G.; Holland, John M.; Storkey, Jonathan; Lutman, Peter; Orson, Jim; Simper, John (2012-08)1. The response of bird abundance to the proportional availability of un-cropped land (i.e. land that could be cultivated, such as fallows, grassflower or wild bird areas) is under-studied but of considerable significance ... -
Farming for food and biodiversity
Storkey, Jonathan (2012-03) -
The impact of agricultural intensification and land-use change on the European arable flora
Storkey, Jonathan; Meyer, S.; Still, K. S. (2012)The impact of crop management and agricultural land use on the threat status of plants adapted to arable habitats was analysed using data from Red Lists of vascular plants assessed by national experts from 29 European ... -
Managing arable weeds for biodiversity
Storkey, Jonathan; Westbury, Duncan B. (2007-06)As a result of the recent intensification of crop production, the abundance and diversity of UK arable weeds adapted to cultivated land have declined, with an associated reduction in farmland birds. A number of questions ... -
A process-based approach to modelling impacts of climate change on the damage niche of an agricultural weed
Stratnovitch, P.; Storkey, Jonathan; Semenov, Mikhail A. (2012)Predicting the impact of climate change on the damage niche of an agricultural weed at a local scale requires a process-based modelling approach that integrates local environmental conditions and the differential responses ... -
Reconciling the conservation of in-field biodiversity with crop production using a simulation model of weed growth and competition
Storkey, Jonathan; Cussans, John W. (2007-10)The conservation of biodiversity within cropped fields, through tolerating low weed populations, would complement un-cropped wildlife refuges and increase the functional diversity of the farmed landscape. These benefits ... -
Towards an assessment of multiple ecosystem processes and services via functional traits
de Bello, Francesco; Lavorel, Sandra; Diaz, Sandra; Harrington, Richard; Cornelissen, Johannes H. C.; Bardgett, Richard D.; Berg, Matty P.; Cipriotti, Pablo; Feld, Christian K.; Hering, Daniel; da Silva, Pedro Martins; Potts, Simon G.; Sandin, Leonard; Sousa, Jose Paulo; Storkey, Jonathan; Wardle, David A.; Harrison, Paula A. (2010-09)Managing ecosystems to ensure the provision of multiple ecosystem services is a key challenge for applied ecology. Functional traits are receiving increasing attention as the main ecological attributes by which different ... -
Trophic links between functional groups of arable plants and beetles are stable at a national scale
Brooks, D. R.; Storkey, Jonathan; Clark, S. J.; Firbank, L. G.; Petit, S.; Woiwood, I. P. (2012-01)1. There is an urgent need to accurately model how environmental change affects the wide-scale functioning of ecosystems, but advances are hindered by a lack of knowledge of how trophic levels are linked across space. It ... -
Using functional traits to quantify the value of plant communities to invertebrate ecosystem service providers in arable landscapes
Storkey, Jonathan; Brooks, David; Haughton, Alison; Hawes, Cathy; Smith, Barbara M.; Holland, John M. (2013-01)1. The loss of farmland biodiversity threatens the sustainability of ecosystem services delivered within agricultural landscapes. The functional trait approach has been successfully used in grassland systems to quantify ...
