“…The corridor function of networks of hedgerows has been demonstrated in various conditions: for plants by Baudry (1988) and Marshall and Arnold (1995); for insects by Burel (1989) and Duelli et al (1990); for birds by Dmowski and Koziakiewicz (1990) and Clergeau and Burel (1997). The effect of grain size (the average size of a field surrounded by hedgerows) has been less well studied.…”

“…The ecology of hedgerows has been much studied, especially in Great Britain and France (Forman and Baudry 1984;Burel 1989Burel , 1996Burel and Baudry 1990), and they are well known as a habitat for wildlife in rural environments (Lewis 1969;Pollard and Relton 1970;Eldridge 1971;Pollard et al 1974;Osborne 1984;Rands 1986;Lack l988). The persistence and abundance of many animals traditionally present in European farm landscapes depends upon the availability of hedgerows to provide shelter, breeding sites, refuge and foraging habitat.…”

Linkages in the Landscape IUCN'S FOREST CONSERVATION PROGRAMMEIUCN's Forest Conservation Programme coordinates and supports the activities of the IUCN Secretariat and members working with forest ecosystems. The goal of forest conservation is achieved through promoting protection, restoration and sustainable use of forest resources, so that forests provide the full potential range of goods and services.The programme makes contributions to policy at various levels and uses field projects to derive lessons to feed into the policy debate. The principles of Caring for the Earth, published jointly by IUCN, WWF and UNEP in 1991, are applied to these projects, which combine the needs of conservation and those of local communities. One major activity is to develop coherent and informed policies on forest conservation in order to advocate the translation of policies into effective actions. IUCN frequently advises major development institutions on forest issues, to ensure that conservation priorities are adequately addressed in their projects and programmes. The Forest Conservation Programme receives generous financial support from the Government of the Netherlands.

“…However, it is important to note that the extent to which species leave their native habitat and dis perse to other habitats depends on their habitat prefer ences (Usher et al, 1993). For instance, some forest gen eralists (i.e., occur in several forest types) use hedgerows as dispersal routes, and bushes as "stepping stones" when moving around in a forest-agricultural landscape (Burel & Baudry, 1994), while forest specialists (i.e., restricted to a certain type of forest) are reluctant to disperse in this way (Burel, 1989). The former species are better able to dis perse and survive in a fragmented forest landscape, where hedgerows and bushes may be the prevalent "forest" type than are strict forest species.…”

Abstract. I review the effects of habitat fragmentation on carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and examine whether the taxon could be used as an indicator of fragmentation. Related to this, I study the conservation needs of carabids. The reviewed studies showed that habitat fragmentation affects carabid assemblages. Many species that require habitat types found in interiors of frag ments are threatened by fragmentation. On the other hand, the species composition of small fragments of habitat (up to a few hec tares) is often altered by species invading from the surroundings. Recommendations for mitigating these adverse effects include maintenance of large habitat patches and connections between them. Furthermore, landscape homogenisation should be avoided by maintaining heterogeneity ofhabitat types. It appears that at least in the Northern Hemisphere there is enough data about carabids for them to be fruitfully used to signal changes in land use practices. Many carabid species have been classified as threatened. Mainte nance of the red-listed carabids in the landscape requires species-specific or assemblage-specific measures.
