[hal-01149954] Impact des pratiques agricoles sur les communautés d'oiseaux: l'exemple du Haut-Doubs

8 mai 2015

Les modifications des pratiques agricoles au cours des 50 dernières années sont responsables du déclin important des populations d'oiseaux des milieux prairiaux. L'agriculture de moyenne montagne, tournée presque exclusivement vers l'élevage, a sans doute été moins touchée par l'intensification des (...)

[hal-01140224] A comparison of wintering duck numbers among European rice production areas with contrasting flooding regimes

8 avril 2015

Agricultural lands can provide suitable habitat for birds under some conditions.
