Seeded ryegrass swards allow granivorous birds to winter in agriculturally improved grassland landscapes
We experimentally managed silage fields to provide abundant seed as a conservation measure for wintering birds. Buntings Emberiza strongly selected seeded ryegrass plots, where they fed predominantly...
