Abstract/Summary
Hedges are key semi-natural features in agricultural landscapes and increasingly recognised for their contributions to biodiversity and carbon storage, as well as to wider ecosystem services. As a consistent focus of agri-environment schemes (AES) since their inception, it is important to understand how this has impacted on their extent and condition in the context of wider changes in hedge extent and condition. This piece of research addressed a range of objectives with the aim of ensuring effective targeting of future AES for hedges.
