Abstract The policy term green infrastructure highlights the need to maintain functional ecosystems as a foundation for sustainable societies. Because forests are main natural in Europe, it is crucial understand extent which forest landscape management delivers infrastructures. We used steep west–east gradient history, land ownership, and political culture within northern Europe's Baltic Sea Region assess regional profiles of benefits delivered by landscapes. aim was support policy‐makers...
Models of farmland bird population densities established from field surveys were applied to classified satellite data for mapping predicted numbers. The survey system was based upon point counts birds and descriptions their habitat within a 200 m radius. relationship between habitats analysed by means multiple regression analysis. resulting models coded into Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) which had similar land cover/use classes as the observation data. With use circular radius...
This point-count based study (1995–99) provides information on the avifauna of different farmland habitats in Latvia. Ordinations identify main gradients within species composition pattern: from arable land to natural and woodland across open, dry areas wet meadowlands with rivers ponds. Regression models describing relationship between richness habitat show that best positive predictors are woodland, scrub, meadows, unfarmed patches such as piles stones or brushwood, affinities 30 most...
