Regional differences in bird diversity in agroforestry systems - EurekAlert
The diversity and ecological functionality of bird communities in tropical agroforestry systems are shaped by the surrounding landscape, in particular the extent and composition of the forest. An international research team led by the University of Göttingen has now investigated the composition and ecological traits of bird communities in 23 cocoa agroforestry systems in Peru. The Universities of Würzburg and Vienna and the Alliance Biodiversity International in Peru were also involved in the study. The scientists found very different results depending on the region, and therefore emphasise the importance of tailoring agroforestry management strategies according to the region. The results were published in the journal <em>Conservation Science and Practice</em>.
