Here, we tested effects of landscape configuration (comparing regions with small vs. large field size, thereby contrasting former West and East Germany), local farming practice (organic vs. conventional) and within-field position (edge vs. centre) on the abundance and species richness of farmland birds in winter wheat fields, with particular reference to skylarks (Alauda arvensis). We surveyed birds by point counts during breeding season within nine pairs of organic and conventional managed winter wheat fields along the Western (ca. 3 ha fields) and Eastern (ca. 20 ha fields) side of the former Iron Curtain in central Germany (n = 18 pairs). Bird abundance and species richness within arable field centres was highest in the small organic fields of the West, whereas skylarks showed a strong preference for open field conditions provided by field centres in the larger fields in East Germany. In conclusion, overall bird abundance and richness within arable fields would benefit from reducing local intensification of farming practices and field size, whereas open-land species such as skylarks benefit from large fields."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.agee.2019.03.006"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61859"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","0167-8809"],["dc.title","Agricultural intensification at local and landscape scales impairs farmland birds, but not skylarks (Alauda arvensis)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In Europe during the 1950s, the Eastern communist bloc switched to large-scale farming by forced collectivization of small farms, while the West kept small-scale private farming. Here we show that large-scale agriculture in East Germany reduced biodiversity, which has been maintained in West Germany due to >70% longer field edges than those in the East. In contrast, profit per farmland area in the East was 50% higher than that in the West, despite similar yield levels. In both regions, switching from conventional to organic farming increased biodiversity and halved yield levels, but doubled farmers' profits. In conclusion, European Union policy should acknowledge the surprisingly high biodiversity benefits of small-scale agriculture, which are on a par with conversion to organic agriculture."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41559-017-0272-x"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29046556"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12998"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","2397-334X"],["dc.title","The former Iron Curtain still drives biodiversity-profit trade-offs in German agriculture"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
