Field Margins’Plant Diversity and Ecological Service Functions: Research Progress

doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.2014-0443

Abstract

Abstract: The intensive agriculture and urbanizion have caused important habitat alterations in agricultural landscapes and the decline of farmland wildlife. Field margin, one of the most important parts in rural landscape, is characterized by high biodiversity which fulfils not only important ecological but also landscape functions. In this research, plant diversity of field margins was explained with species diversity, ecosystem diversity, time sequence/spatial layout diversity, original and functional diversity. Then, the relationship between plant diversity and field margin structure, factors related to adjacent land use and landscape structure was summarized and discussed. Furthermore, the ecosystem functions and services of field margins were summarized, including agronomic, environmental, wildlife and recreational functions. And the methods employed for biodiversity conservation of field margins were reviewed. At last, future constraints and opportunities in field margin research were discussed for promoting their role in conservation of biodiversity and cultural landscape heritage.
