Reports

BTO publishes various reports, from those covering the annual results of core surveys, through scientific studies, and on to those produced in partnership with other organisations. Many of these are published as BTO Research Reports, which includes BBS reports, Waterbirds in the UK (WeBS) reports and SMP reports. You can access all of our reports from here, though note that we are currently updating the reports section, working backwards through time to bring all of the report pages into a consistent format. You can read our Annual Report and Accounts in the Governance section.

Habitat selection and breeding success of Skylarks (Alauda arvensis) on organic and conventional farmland

Author:

Published: 1993

The habitat selection, territory density, nesting success and diet of Skylarks breeding on one organic and one conventional farm in north Suffolk were investigated as a pilot study to examine the impact of organic farming practices on Skylark breeding populations. Territory density was higher on the organic than on the conventional farm, and this difference could be explained largely by differences between the two farms in field size, boundary characteristics, and cropping. Rotational and five-year set-aside, and organic cereals were the most attractive field types to Skylarks.
