Opis

Birds are the most mobile fauna in the environment. Despite their high degree of mobility, they are also good indicators of a healthy environment because of their relationship with plants. But in recent times, their population in the environment is declining as result of anthropogenic activities ranging from industrialization, construction and agricultural intensification taking place repeatedly in the environment. In Africa, agricultural intensification which consists of heavy application of pesticides, and deforestation which also involves the removal of hedgerows are major drivers for the decline in birds population. This book reveals the impacts of agricultural intensification on the abundance, richness and diversity of farmland birds on cultivated farmlands in Nigeria..
