Description
Susana López Rodríguez, Hanneke van 't Veen, Solen Le Clec'h, and Rob Alkemade assess farm wildlife worldwide in this 2026 study. Diversifying crops and keeping trees can help nature on farmland, but whether wild species from untouched habitats actually shelter there was unknown. The team merged three giant databases covering over one hundred thousand observations.
Farms sorted into nine classes, from single-crop fields to agroforests. Single-crop land sat furthest from wild reference sites on every measure. Agroforests and tree-dotted pastures came closest to wild habitat, thanks to their dense trees. Wildlife in agroforests even grew richer over time. Modest crop mixing and sparse trees helped a little. The authors back tree planting and crop diversity in farm policy.
