Abstract | There is an urgent requirement for relatively cheap and rapid methods for monitoring the status of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Most direct monitoring methods are expensive requiring extensive field work and the use of multiple species groups with contrasted ecological requirements. The potential use of landscape metrics as inexpensive indicators was proposed by O’Neill et al. (1988). Whilst the identification of a generic set of metrics is challenging due to map interpretation issues, spatial scale and ecological appropriateness, it is widely acknowledged that biodiversity depends on landscape properties. Here we identify landscape pattern metrics that act as indicators for biodiversity in the context of monitoring Temperate European agricultural landscapes. As the affectivity of metrics will be highly influenced by the map classification (Bailey et al. 2006a) we explore the role of thematic resolution and examine a suite of biological and functional groups. |
