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.
